Two busloads of rescue dogs are leaving for Kelowna tomorrow for a weekend adoption event.

Embrace a Discarded Animal Society announced their return to Kelowna in March, saying they would bring a bus with about 40 dogs from Langley.

The dogs are led by the volunteers, which include seven residents who have already done a house check and will adopt a puppy over the weekend.

The event is open to the public on Friday at 9 a.m. Trish Leach, an event coordinator, says last year people camped out on lounge chairs on the sidewalk hours before the store opened so they could meet the dogs first.

Leach adds that they expect that to be the case this year as well.

And if you adopted a puppy at last year’s event, you’re encouraged to bring him along to say hello and show the rescue company how well he is.</p> <p>The event takes place on Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at PetSmart Kelowna, 2024 Harvey Avenue.</p> <p></p> <p style=
