HELPING OUT
Local business owner Leslie Green found a unique way to help out neglected and abandoned pets in our area earlier this month. She hosted an event to benefit the A. N. N. A. Shelter with the collection of pet supplies, including toys, towels, and cleaning products, just to name a few. Also on site for Green’ s special event were some adorable pets that are available for adoption. If you would like to help out the A. N. N. A. Shelter, or to see the adoptable pets looking for a forever home, go to theannashelter. com.
