Grass Roots Rescue presented the third annual 4 Paws Got Your 6 benefit at American Legion Post 28 in Oak Orchard Sept. 7. Vendors, live bands, food trucks and canines filled the afternoon with fun, refreshments, information and adoptions.
The five-hour event raised $4,500, of which $2,500 goes to support the Kent County Chapter of Vietnam Veterans’ Canines Assisting Service Heroes where it will be used to fund the training of a service dog for a Delaware veteran in need, and $2,000 will go toward the medical needs of the dogs within the rescue.
“Thanks to all who donated to the event,” said GRR founder Karli Crenshaw. “A special thanks to the vendors, volunteers, the American Legion, bands and everyone who made the event a huge success.”
At the end of the day, 18 puppies and one adult dog were adopted.
