We would just like to say a big thanks to all those who donated to the Angel Tree for Animals this year. We got an entire truckload of items to donate as well as over $900 in cash, checks and gift cards. The people at Louisville Metro Animal Services and Kentucky Animal Relief Fund were very excited and happy and wanted us to convey their appreciation for your generosity. Look for another collection in April. Happy Holidays!
