It was a pleasure to serve Vera with her transportation needs to get to healthcare for several years. She was so appreciative. In the past, Vera was featured in a United Way video.

With much gratitude from the Allen County SPCA for thinking of the shelter animals in this time of loss. Your concern will make life easier for cats and dogs not as lucky as Isis and Little One, and I hope that can bring you some comfort at this difficult time. We very much appreciate your thoughtfulness. karen fraser
