Help shelter pets by supporting the ASPCA

This is Barda the Shop Dog. Without her no projects would get done around the house :).  We got her from a rescue society when she was 7 months old.

Please consider a rescue pet for your next shop helper.  If you want to help more, support the ASPCA by either donating or shopping at their site.
