This is a true story!

A 5 year old boy named Cory Evans decided instead of gifts for his 5th birthday he wanted people to bring things to donate to the shelter. He collected approximately $141.00 and numerous toys and goodies for the cats and dogs. He has received a Junior Humane Society Certificate of Appreciation and a big thank you from all the animals. Well done, Cory, and thanks from us all!!!!!
