Thank you to those who came by in the wake of Thursday's storm and helped us out. While no animals were ever in imminent danger, our old shelter was battered pretty hard.
Thanks also goes out to area boarders who opened up their kennels at reduced rates to assist families temporarily unable to contain their dogs due to power outage or storm damage.
