When you see the connection take place, it's as if they are falling in love. The joy on people's faces, the happiness, it's almost tangible.

The one thing they share is a love of animals.

Our volunteers are the most incredible people in the world. They give freely of their time and energy. But we don't have enough volunteers to keep up with it.

We do a home visit for every dog and cat. We try to match lifestyles and needs. We have dogs that are high energy, low energy and no energy. We want to make sure the environment is the right fit.

We cry a lot. But as a group, we give each other tremendous support and try to stay positive. That's what enables us to keep going. It's a team effort.

The more connections you and your lover make, not just between your bodies, but between your minds, your hearts, and your souls, the more you will strengthen the fabric of your relationship, and the more real moments you will experience together.
