Thornton Fire Lieutenant Thomas Kapuan is probably the one who volunteers to help the shelter most often, since he loves dogs and the calendar helps him to keep his fitness goals on track.

“It’s been very rewarding, both through the fitness gains that we’ve made, and then also helping all of these adorable puppies,” Kapuan shared. “Dogs are my favorite animal and helping these little guys, it means the world to me.”

In August, the firefighters and some community sponsors hosted the calendar’s launch and signing party in order to raise more funds for the adoptable dogs who were standing there by.

“This is just another way for us to give back to the community that gives so much to us,” Kapaun said and added that they all love helping the puppies as well as being involved in the community.
