When Zachary Watson, owner of Site Pros Landscaping, and Alissa Wells stopped by Lucky's Mutt Madness, they weren't planning to adopt a dog. "For the dogs, the event was all about finding a permanent home," says Kris Kiser, President of the TurfMutt Foundation, OPEI and Equip Exposition, "…and for the show's attendees who create the green spaces America loves bringing home a new pet underscores the importance of what they do every day-get outside, work in it, and enjoy it."Įquip Exposition is the largest event for outdoor power equipment, lawn and garden equipment, light construction and landscape equipment industries, and in 2019, it was the 6th largest in the United States according to the Gold 100. The adopted pups are now settling into their new forever homes just as Animal Shelter Appreciation Week, November 1 to 7, 2021, launches. This annual national dog adoption event is held in conjunction with trade show, Equip Exposition, and gives rescued dogs a chance to meet hundreds of trade show attendees. The TurfMutt Foundation is pleased to announce that 15 rescue dogs from the Kentucky Humane Society (KHS) found permanent homes during Lucky's Mutt Madness.
