Photo of the Week
A great big thank you to Ironworkers Local 392 Apprenticeship Program for donating their time to install new roofs - or as our dogs like to call them - "woofs" - on our outdoor pens. This project was completed on January 24th, just in time for a big snow the next day. Our dogs are so happy to be able to be protected during all types of weather while outside getting some fresh air, etc. 01/26/2023. (Additional pictures on "News & Events" page.)
