Our first annual "Kitchen Party" fund raiser is set for October 24th at Kegger's Alehouse, located at 76 Inglis Place in Truro. With local musicians, a silent auction and balloon drop, we hope you all attend and make this a great success! Our goal is to raise enough money to purchase a 14' tandem axle trailer, crates and a generator, to better aid us in assisting animals in need.
