  • There are a few regular helpers at the shelter

"If we continue on the path we are going on now, our adoptions will be up 25 percent, our euthanasia will be down 50 percent and the transfers are up 35 percent,"  said Bert Stratemann, Animal Services Manager. "We’re moving in the right direction, it’s just very difficult without the help of everybody in the community."
