If you get the opportunity to support a good cause while cuddling with puppies, you grab it. Scottsville Veterinary Adoptions will bring puppies to the Rochester Institute of Technology campus April 27 to celebrate spring’s arrival.
For a suggested $1 donation to benefit Scottsville Veterinary Adoptions, students can enjoy free barbeque, music (provided by WITR-FM) and puppies. Friday’s event is part of RIT’s annual weekend-long Spring Festival.
