Wild Season

A theme sets up soon after the potatoes are planted. Not just a weather pattern but a problem pattern. Some years, it’s bearings … well, actually, it might always be bearings.

Last year alone, the shelter rescued and found homes for 768 dogs, cats, bunnies and a host of other animals.
