We wish to thank Renaissance Landscape & Design for our snow removal for 2011-2012 this is a huge donation from Renaissance and we greatly appreciate their services. Over the years they have kept the shelter parking lot clear even in the worst of weathers.
We have enjoyed working with them in a number of the shelter fundraisers, events and getting to know both John and Vicki as volunteers. They are truly part of the shelter family.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Directors, the staff, volunteers, and our area veterinarians. This has truly been a wonderful year for the shelter. We are proud to be a part of such a great team that works tirelessly. Their efforts provide such a wonderful establishment for the homeless animals of our community.
