Early in the morning Larry got an urgent phone call from a local gas station who knew his phone number and knows that he volunteers at the shelter.  There was a box of abandoned puppies behind the gas station and they didn’t know what to do with them. Larry and April were there within minutes […]

We sent out a press release to all of the local major media and News10 was the first to come out to do a story. The babies were more concerned about eating than what the guy with the big camera was doing. Tawnee was interviewed about the situation and explained how all the babies were […]
