It is with tremendous sadness that we report the passing of long-time volunteer, Mickey McGuire. If you've ever been to the shelter, you most likely saw Mickey outside walking dogs. He will be greatly missed by staff, board, volunteers, and especially our canine residents. We will pass along wake and funeral arrangements as soon as we get them.
