Q&A: CT Dog Rescue Group Coming Saturday to Village Critter Outfitter
|
A Connecticut-based nonprofit organization that rescues dogs from shelters where they’ll be euthanized because they’re sick, there’s no space or just that their “time is up” is coming to New Canaan’s independently owned pet store Saturday to talk about its fostering program. Green Fur Kidz will also bring some of its rescue dogs to Village Critter Outfitter on Cherry Street for the 12 to 3 p.m. event. NewCanaanite.com took the opportunity of the Green Fur Kidz visit to put some questions to Shirleen Dubuque, on-site owner of Village Critter—who not only invites rescue organizations into the store but last weekend was very hands-on in rescuing a lost dog herself. We talked a bit about Village Critter’s active participation in animal rescue, and found out some things we didn’t know about Dubuque herself, including the singular fact that she is that rarest of breeds among us pet folks: Cat-lover and dog-lover at the same time. Here’s our exchange.
