River, our Fish OKC hatchery dog, was adopted from OKC Animal Welfare one year ago Friday, so we celebrated her rookie year by visiting friends at the shelter! To mark River's Gotcha Day, we took treats to adoptable friends Keeno-Dug (A475526), Igloo (A477838), and Butterfly (A472588).
Today marks ONE YEAR since River the Hatchery Dog was adopted from OKC Animal Welfare by Fish OKC Biologist John Rayfield. We had to have a Gotcha Day party to celebrate her rookie year at the H.B. Parsons Fish Hatchery!
Best mail ever? Thanks to the Popsicle Fairy for dropping off treats for our frontline staff! 🧚♀️
