They almost fight over the cutest puppies, Chaz says. The Blackmores are Silicon Valley expatriates who left California last summer to join Best Friends. Nowadays, Chaz, an accountant, does tax consulting and Jeanne, a lawyer, works for a tax attorney on part-tim- e and mergers acquisitions in addition to the Best Friends jobs. The couple recently married but didnt let their honeymoon keep them from sanctuary du- ties. During their three-wee- k weddingtrip, they adopted a darling black lab mix to a California couple they met in Aspen, And their honeymoon visits to animal shelters paid off with the first ever special adoption day at Routt County Animal Shelter in Steamboat Springs, CO. Chaz drove 10 Best Friends dogs to the adoption and nine found homes, including Keno, a big, woolly teddy bearish canine that had been unlucky in Vegas for months. And the couples contacts with shelters in Jackson Hole, Sim Valley, and Aspen may also result in special adoption days that include Best Friends dogs. This is really satisfying work, says Jeanne. We take dogs that were left in cardboard boxes or found tied to stop signs or dumped by the side of the road and we find homes for them. It really beats sitting behind a computer screen 60 hours a week. ! K. John Armstrong DDS Robert Gibson DDS Larry Staples DDS Nileen Whitlock RDH Call now for an appointment 435-644-41- 81 355 N.
