We had such a wonderful time yesterday at Green Heron Ale House's Community Connection Day! We are so grateful to have been invited and to be part of such a great event!

Our pups had an absolute blast meeting new people, soaking up all the attention, and representing FOSS in the community. It was also wonderful to have the opportunity to talk with members of our community about what we do, share our mission, and introduce some of our amazing adoptable dogs.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, learn more about FOSS, and spend time with our dogs. And a special thank you to Green Heron Ale House for hosting such a fantastic event and making us feel so welcome. We truly enjoyed being a part of it and hope to join you again in the future! 🐶❤️

🐾 Thank You, Jordan Doyle, and Sydney Doyle, In Memory of Debbie Crawley 🐾

Yesterday, we received an incredibly generous donation of pet food, treats, and more from Jordan and Sydney Doyle, who shared that he believed his mother, Debbie Crawley, would have wanted these items to help the animals at Friends of Stokes Shelter.

Many in our community knew Debbie for her love of animals and her dedication to helping them. Her compassion touched countless lives, both human and animal.

We are so grateful to Jordan and Sydney for thinking of FOSS and honoring his mother's legacy in such a meaningful way. As you can see from the photos, the amount of food, treats, and supplies is truly amazing and will help us care for the many animals who depend on us each day, as well as members of our community who may need a helping hand.

Thank you, Jordan and Sydney, for your kindness and generosity, and thank you, Debbie, for the impact you made on animals throughout Stokes County. Your love for them continues to make a difference.❤️🐾
