Greetings to everyone! We hope y’all enjoyed Turkey Trot this weekend and we want to thank everyone who dropped by our booth to visit and shop! This week, our kitty of the week is Wally! This little boy was found with his two sisters behind a local gas station’s cardboard dumpster. A good Samaritan who was picking up the cardboard for the Transfer Station saw them and contacted the Shelter.

The 78th Queen of Turkey Trot is Julie Dunn on the right in black dress. Rhonda Graves to the left was named .

Pictured to the right: Gwen Stice is the winner of the Marion County Community Services Kayak Raffle. Gwen’s name was drawn for the Perception Hangtime Kayak at the 78th Annual Turkey Trot. 100 percent of all proceeds from this raffle go to the Marion County Community Center Project. Many thanks to all who participated!

This week we want to talk a bit about the need for folks to stop breeding pit bulls. These dogs (and pit bull mixes) are the most at-risk dogs in animal shelters across the country.

This happy face belongs to James! He is a shepherd/cur mix and is certainly true to his heritage. Shepherds and Cur dogs are both working breeds that are very intelligent and energetic.
