I wanted to give a Large Thank you to all of our members and friends who were able to help GPCDFA Greater Panama City Dog Fanciers Association with our supply drive to help Alaqua Animal Refuge. They stepped up to care for the animals in the path of hurricane Milton and we are glad to provide some supplies to help with this challenging effort. Thank you all for making these donations possible. I am proud to be surrounded by such a caring group!

A Special Thank You to Donna Waddell at the Downtown pet Salon for allowing us to drop off items and donations at her central location, always extending a helping hand😃. As well as to Garrett and Lauren for taking their time to deliver everything out to Alaqua. Not a short drive.

If you happen to miss our drive for Alaqua and have more items to donate, Operation Spay Bay is gathering supplies to send down south for the animals that did not make it out before Hurricane Milton hit. Please feel free to drop off items at the Downtown Pet Salon (547 Grace Ave) and we will be glad to deliver them to OSB for you! Thank you for your care and concern for these precious animals in this difficult situation.
