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 .
