Christmas Project for Serendipity Animal Rescue

I am working on a fundraising project for the dogs! Ornaments with gift ideas for donations. We will hang them on a small tree so people can select a dog to donate to.

Oliver had a meet and greet Sunday. Because I had to take my daughter back to school that day, I suggested the Historic Jerusalem Mill Village.
