Sheri’s Grandson's Donation

Sheri, our Human Health Account Executive, is proud of her 6-year-old grandson, Bradley, who came up with his own way to help shelter pups stay warm this winter!

He started the initiative at his home at Nellis Air Force Base over 6 weeks ago to collect old blankets and towels to give to our furry friends as they recover from anesthesia after their spay and neuter. We do this as a service to our local shelters to help the community.

Bradley was inspired when he saw his mom collect blankets for donation. He wanted to help dogs without a home stay warm during the winter months. Bradley likes to collect the blankets because it makes him feel happy. He has collected approximately 200 blankets and towels, and he wishes to continue doing so to help more pups. Thank you, Bradley, for your donations and kindness toward these pups!
