Brenda Smotherman delivered our pet need donation to Metro Animal Care and Control where the items received a warm welcome. One of the lead volunteers working with dogs was so excited about the Pup-Peroni that she brought out Pegasus who tested the product and gave it 4 paws up and thank you cuddles. [This lucky pup has since been adopted and not by Brenda though she was very tempted.] Bernice captured photos and shared them via the MACC Pack volunteer Facebook group to give us a shout out.
