We are sending out a big thank you to everyone who brought in cat or dog food, blankets, toys or treats during our Holiday Pet Food Drive! Thank you from everyone at AHNA! The AHNA Annual Pet Food Drive was a huge success again this year with over 5000 pounds of cat and dog food donated along with lots of treats, toys and blankets. We were all so touched by the generosity of the community. One amazing young girl even asked her friends to donate pet food to our drive instead of giving her birthday presents!
