The Friends of the Animal Shelter say “Thank You”

As part of the Wayne Healthcare Challenge, the Darke County Friends of the Shelter had their first 5K race on April 5 to benefit the Scentral Park dog park. It was a HUGE success for everyone and a great event!

There was a large number of participants for this first of a kind event and many runners came with their canine friends.

Again: a BIG Thank You to all our supporters!
