Maria and Varda spent some time at the local mall to support the AKC and the West Volusia Kennel Club during their Responsible Pet Owner Day. Lots of shoppers were surprised to see dogs in the mall. The Volusia Mall makes an exception to its normal pet policy for this event and it’s a great way to educate people on what it takes to be a responsible pet owner. Hundreds of people got to interact with the dogs. For Varda it was a good experience meeting so many strangers while being away from her pack mates. Maria does a great job socializing the dogs and manages to support a lot of worthy causes in the process.
