On Sunday the response for the Paws and refresh lemonade stand was enormous!!! We were so surprised at how much Jack and his family raised for the shelter animals in honor of their family dog that passed away, Ozzy. Jack came to hand deliver a donation for over $3,000 ! Which will go to our friends group “Friends of the Shelton Animal Shelter “. While Jack and his mom were here they got to meet a few of our animals that are still looking for homes and Jack was a big hit. Thank you all again for your support we appreciate you all so much! ❤️🐶😺💜

Sadly we have had reports of a scammer posting a fake Venmo account for the lemonade stand on Sunday. This is the real account and I will post the scammer account in comments in case you donated to them. If you did please contact Venmo.
