(Le Mars) — More than 30 dogs and their owners attended the ninth annual Woofstock event being held today at the Plymouth County Historical Museum. Noah’s Hope and the Siouxland Humane Society were on hand with dogs ready to be adopted. Wendy Ruhland with Noah’s Hope talks about a five-month old black Labrador dog named Ginny that is looking for a good home.
Ruhland says Noah’s Hope has been in existence for nearly ten years. She says people will often attend Woofstock knowing that Noah’s Hope is there just to see about adopting a dog.
Ruhland says before anyone can take home a dog, Noah’s Hope wants to make certain the dog will be going to a nice home, so interested dog owners must first complete an application and background check.
Ruhland says Noah’s Hope consists of several people acting as a foster home while the dog is waiting to be adopted.
Ruhland says there are many benefits to both the dog and the owner for adoption, as opposed to selecting a dog from a dog breeder.
Woofstock continues today at the Plymouth County Historical Museum through mid-afternoon.
