A part of the profits from this task approach buying required products for the Pittsburg County Animal Shelter. Paper personnel packed up a truck loaded with food, deals with, blankets, beds, toys and more in 2015 that was provided to the animal shelter.
The News-Capital consisted of every family pet sent prior to the election due date in the very first 2 rounds of voting this year.
Citizens in 2 rounds of online-only ballot on the News-Capital site chose their favorites and which family pets they wished to advance.
This is an enjoyable and interactive method to assist the regional animal shelter and we hope as many individuals as possible can take part.
