Pet Pantry

It will be here a few weeks for those wanting to donate to our ferals and strays needing food, blankets, towels or anything else to help them get through the winter months. We don’t have a humane society here and depend on a handful of angels who do there best to help the many needy animals in Jefferson. Please donate, if you can.
