The Arizona Humane Society is hoping to make voting a little less stressful this year. To help keep voters calm as they cast their ballots, volunteers are bringing puppies to multiple polling sites across the state.
While you are waiting in line, you can relax and play with the adorable puppies, and if you happen to fall in love with one of them, you can adopt it on the spot. The Humane Society announced their plan on Twitter a few hours before polls opened.
AHS puppies are headed to the polls! We’ll be out at various polling sites across the Valley giving voters some well deserved puppy kisses. Look out for these cuties and watch the fun with the hashtag #PollingPups
