Tamara Harver once again played Santa for all of the homeless animals at the Amelia County Animal Shelter, ensuring that the puppies and kittens, cats and dogs all had a very Merry Christmas! Tamara organized her sixth Santa Paws drive, soliciting food, toys and money for the shelter animals from co-workers, friends and family. On Friday, December 23rd, Santa Tamara and her elves delivered 730 pounds of dry dog food, 60 pounds of canned dog food, 200 pounds of dry cat food, 55 pounds of canned cat food, 168 pounds of kitten food, 20 pounds of dog bones, 88 dog toys, 40 cat toys, bottles of cleaner (bleach, laundry detergent, soap, etc.), bottles of pet shampoo, rolls of paper towels, etc. to the shelter. In addition, $3,780.00 in monetary donations were made to APAW to benefit the shelter. On hand to accept the donations were Animal Control Officers Randy Leonard and Wendy Roberts, Receptionist/Permit Technician Cindy Case, and shelter volunteers Linda Claiborne and Everett Thomas. Santa Tamara says “It is such a rewarding experience to help make the dogs and cats stay at the shelter a little more comfortable for them while they are at the shelter. Thanks to all of the Santa Paws supporters!” The animals, the shelter staff and APAW all say “Thank you Santa Tamara!” If you would like to donate to the shelter or APAW call 561-3878.
