A HUGE thanks to Rick, the owner of Pet Valu Alliston and his customers who raised $5,000 for ADHS animals from the store's Paw event in June! ADHS could not operate without the generous donations of this kind from the community. In the photo above Rick is presenting the cheque to Jaimie Bury, ADHS dog coordinator.

One of Five Favourite Alliston Herald Photos
