Click on headline for complete story

By Celia Downey

This note is in response to the post by Kim Sallee, Director of the Green River Animal Shelter (GRAS).

Kim shared the giving opportunity of a donation to Columbia's Animal Shelter. It is worthy to consider in this Christmas Season of charity and caring, especially for those Animals who are who are extremely vulnerable.

The Shelter Animals have little voice, with only the hope and the voice that humans grant to them. However, Columbia's Shelter Animals are very fortunate to have the Green River Animal Shelter, as otherwise those Animals would not have protection from cold/heat or provision of food, water, and caring human contact.
