Clear the Shelter day draws families for Saturday fun
The Bowie Animal Shelter has one of its biggest turnouts ever for Clear the Shelter Day this past Saturday. Families enjoyed food, a silent auction, low-cost pet vaccinations, a bake sale and of course visits with the shelter’s adoptable dogs. Friends of the Shelter report they raised about $4,000 to help fund its activities, plus four dogs and two cats were adopted. (Photos by Barbara Green)
