Ziva…. She was found in the dump, thrown away like trash. Now she’s growing and is a happy active puppy. She’s going to stay on the smaller side but how small we don’t know. She loves other dogs and snuggling with her foster mom and is fine with cats in her foster home. Ziva has started her puppy vaccinations and deworming. She will be spayed and microchipped prior to adoption. Applications for the sweet girl can be requested by emailing [email protected]

Can’t adopt? Do your part and SHARE her post!

We had our Bingo Bonanza today and raised funds for Child Abuse Prevention. In addition to selling bingo packets, we sold lunches and had a bake sale. Betty Arndt was lucky and won an $800 jackpot! Congratulations Betty! Special thanks to the Exchange Club of Aberdeen members who worked so hard on this fundraiser.
