AUCTION/GIVEAWAYS
—————————————————————————————
Many thanks to:
Katheryn V of Vermont and her bid of $346 for Midwest Pug Rescue
Alvie S of Oklahoma whose bid of $365 was desperately needed by Granite City APA. Shortly before the auction ended thieves broke in to the shelter and stole the cat and dog food and carriers from the shelter. So the money was a real godsend for them.
Michelle A of Indiana and her $380 for the Wolf Sanctuary.
Thank you all so much!
Tory C of Maryland was the fan club winner in the random drawing.
Anne A of Nevada was the random online entry winner.
