As our community continues to mourn hateful acts committed against our Jewish friends, families, & neighbors, we'd like to extend our shelter as a place of respite.

There will be other activities for kids in addition to providing therapeutic animals for meet and greets.
Humane Animal Rescue officials offered their sincerest sympathies to the families of victims and the entire Jewish community of our region.
