Another Capitals Canine Calendar photoshoot is finally here and LOOK AT ALL THE PUPPIES – Russian Machine Never Breaks

Thursday afternoon, Wolf Trap Animal Rescue, the MSE Foundation, and the Washington Capitals teamed up to bring the best boys and girls together for the annual Canine Calendar photoshoot.

All proceeds from the calendar go to Wolf Trap Animal Rescue, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that currently operates to facilitate means of transport, foster, and adoption of rescued pets. Their program works to rescue pets who are at risk of neglect, homelessness, and euthanasia from shelters & communities in states of the South.

To start, the newest Caps team pup Biscuit was front and center. He even got to meet Ovis dog, Blake!
