We are so deeply saddened to hear about the passing of shelter friend Dan Mudry. Dan was such a wonderful human, he always was such a big help to the staff and animals at our shelter. During winters he would make sure to personally plow our driveway and the hill getting up to the driveway so we could get in and out safely on calls. He never asked for thanks he just did that because he was kind and thoughtful. We never knew that he was a Firefighter until he got sick. And that made sense because he was such a caring person. He wore many hats and was loved by everyone he met. Most of all we knew Dan as an animal lover and advocate. We are sending our deepest condolences to his family and friends. You will be missed, may you Rest In Peace 🙏❤️🐶🐱🚒.
