CHAMBERSBURG – Sen. Rich Alloway, R-Chambersburg, invites community residents to participate in a special “Christmas for the Puppies” donation event on Saturday from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. to support the Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter.
Individuals who stop by with a donation during the event will be invited to take their own picture with Libre, the Boston terrier whose shocking case of neglect and miraculous recovery served as the inspiration behind Pennsylvania’s stronger animal abuse statute that was signed into law earlier this year, a news relief states
