Pet supplies for Healthy Dog Days.

We contributed about $30,000 in pet supplies, including 900 kg of dog food, to Healthy Dog Days in Kempsey and South West Rocks. Around 100 people and 50 dogs attended. ARC's Donna and Friends of Kempsey Pound volunteers Marion and Sharon helped at both days, where Friends of Kempsey Pound also provided microchipping and desexing vouchers.
