Description
As we all know, when dogs walk, they poop. So, PoopBags.com supports as many worthy causes as it can like the Virginia Beach SPCA's Annual Walk for the Animals with its fantastic bags.
Let's admit it: Poop Bags are staple items for any dog event.

We found this on the VBSPCA site and wanted to share a little tidbit of all the wonderful work the VBSPCA does:
West Virginia Puppymill Rescue Update
The trip to and from West Virginia on 8/27 and 8/28 was long and hard. The past 8 days have been very stressful and complicated. Yet, the generosity and warmth of so many volunteers, new and old, of donors, of the media and of long standing and brand new friends has been incredible.
We have relied on volunteers working two shifts a day to clean, feed, water and love the 128 animals we brought back from the puppy mill in West Virginia. These dogs have never seen a lap or a lawn but they are very forgiving and are responding to every kindness and gentle touch.
This past Tuesday night, hundreds of new volunteers and potential foster families met outside on the shelter lawn to learn how they could help. More than 100 dogs who require lots of attention every day, medical treatment, baths and loads of love depend on these wonderful folks.
On Wednesday night, 9/3, we kept the shelter open that evening to hundreds of potential adopters in the hope of adopting the first set of dogs who had received their medical work-ups and were temperamentally ready to enter into new homes. Twenty-seven dogs were adopted that evening. Again, our staff and volunteers worked late so folks could come in after work.
We are opening again Friday night to bring families in who have been approved to visit with more dogs. Next week, we will open again, late into the evening when more animals are ready for release. We will keep doing it until every single one of these dogs has a home, has a lap and a lawn. We will do it because our volunteers, new and old, our incredible staff, our donors and friends will help us do it.
At the same time, we will work seven days a week trying to get the 375 animals already in our care adopted with your help.
If you want to be a lifesaver, please visit us seven days a week to adopt one of the animals already in our care. Finally, please know how deeply we appreciate your support, your understanding and your many kindnesses. We can only be there for the animals because you are there for us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
