Photo of the Week

Proceeds from a recent fundraiser for No Kill Glynn County sponsored by Daddy Cate’s Coffees totaled $1,317. Customers sent photos of their pets which included a raccoon and an opossum. Each person paid $1 to vote on their favorite pet. No Kill Glynn is so grateful for their support. The proceeds will go towards TNVR (Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return) and No Kill Glynn’s ongoing spay and neuter efforts. 🐾 No Kill Glynn County (NKGC) was organized in 2013 when a group of animal advocates began working together to embrace the No Kill philosophy and the programs and services to make it possible. NKGC has and continues to support this philosophy believing that a No-Kill Glynn County IS possible. From left: Amy, Dee Dee, NKGC board member & volunteer Chandra, Brittany, and Stephanie.
