Canine Calendar Photo Shoot (or Who Can Resist a Tough Hockey Player with a Puppy) :)

The Caps were at it again this year as they posed with some adoptable, canine cuties Tuesday for the 2016 Caps Canine Calendar. The photo shoot to benefit Homeward Trails Animal Rescue was held at Kettler Capitals Iceplex in Arlington, VA. Homeward Trails rescues homeless dogs and cats from shelters where animal overpopulation is high and adoption is low. This can result in needless euthanasia of many adoptable pets. They also work with owners who can no longer keep their animals to find them acceptable new homes. In addition to their rescue efforts, Homeward Trails works to promote legislation that will make the world a better place for animals.
