Cupcakes, crayons and creatures crowded the Ottawa Humane Society Saturday for My Furry Valentine – an afternoon of cuddling with dogs, cats and other critters.
Animal lover Olivia Lasaga, 12, posed with Oreo, a bright-eyed shih tzu which “volunteered” to mix and mingle with excited human visitors.
Olivia has her own rabbit and three cats at home but came to visit some more furry friends.
It seems Oreo’s as much a fan of the kids as they are of him.
“The more chaos with the children the happier he is,” said OHS volunteer Myra Wilson.
Oreo goes to school and retirement home visits for up to six hours a week.
“It takes a lot for him to get tired, he’s just happy volunteering. That’s his thing.”
His dog pal Gizmo is a bit different.
“(Gizmo) enjoys it but after an hour of meeting new people, getting pet, it’s a lot of attention for him and after a while he just look at me like ‘can we go home?’ ” says OHS volunteer, Pascal Julien who regularly visits four different facilities, mostly retirement homes, with Gizmo.
“When (we) come home after an hour-and-a-half of visitation he just (crashes) on the couch.”
Program supervisor Allie Holloway said the main purpose of the event is to fundraise and allow families the chance to visit adoptable animals.
“It’s a really good way to bring people in who didn’t know about our shelter because we’ve only been here for five years.”
“There’s been I think three or four adoptions so far.”
Averie Chung, four, draws her impressions of her visit to the Humane Society mixer on Saturday.
Alex James, eight, and Olivia Lasaga, 12, cuddle with shih tzu Oreo at the Humane Society on Saturday.
Braylon Chung, six, said his favourite part of the day at the Humane Society was the arts and crafts
Michaela Agnew, four, takes on a cat persona at the Humane Society
