A donation of $200 has been made in the name of Larry and Eleanor Freund.  These funds will be used to help with vet expenses for "Emma", a Yellow Lab puppy we rescued who has two broken back legs.
 
John A. Heitz has contributed funds enabling the purchase of a Sony Vaio laptop computer. This wonderful tool will be used for coordinating animal rescues via email, grant research and writing, website maintenance and the production of signs and newsletters.
 
$100 has been received from Barbara Joyce, Renee McKelvie and Jerry Angle. This gift has been used for the purchase of pet food.
 
Thanks to everyone who makes our work possible.
