As most of you are aware the remodel of the shelter is a necessity to provide a healthy and safe environment for staff, volunteers and the animals. The remodel is being done the old fashion way with everyone rolling up their sleeves, donating their time and talent to help complete this project under budget. Please help us accomplish our goals by attending The Pound Puppy Gala. For information on purchasing tickets please contact FIAS by email lindafias@msn.com or call 673-1718.
