Helping Hand and Paw…
Area shelters, including our own Iowa City Animal Care and Adoption Center have taken in dogs from hurricane Harvey. The support of the community has once again been overwhelming. Fromm Family Foods & Leash on Life joined together to match food donations.
By working together with you, we have been able to provide enough food for the Adoption Center’s immediate needs. The Adoption Center suggests gift cards to enable getting needed items such as treats, durable harnesses or toys. Thanks to all of you and thanks to Fromm Family Foods.
