🐾❤️ What a Great Day!

Today, the People’s Pantry of Rochester had the pleasure of teaming up with Lollypop Farm for a FREE Dog Vaccine Day! 🐶💉

What an amazing turnout! We’re so happy we could help provide our community’s four-legged family members with important vaccines while bringing people and pets together.
Today Lollypop Farm provided over 300 free vaccines for your beloved pets ❤️🐾

A HUGE thank-you to the amazing team at Lollypop Farm for making today possible and for everything you do for our community! 🙌

And of course, thank you to everyone who came out with their pups! We loved seeing all the happy faces, wagging tails, and furry friends. 🐕🥰

📸 We took LOTS of pictures today, so scroll through and check them out! You might just spot yourself — or your favorite four-legged family member! 🐾❤️
