The Orleans County Sheriff’s Animal Shelter received a large donation from a Holley Elementary student.
For three weeks, Josmar Hernandez, a sixth-grader, collected donations from Holley staff and students to give to the Orleans County Animal Shelter.
Josmar’s love for animals, especially dogs, prompted him to start collecting items that the shelter could use. Over 300 items were collected, including dog and cat food, toys, bedding, and cat litter.
Josmar wanted to come to the shelter to visit the animals, but due to COVID-19, that currently isn’t allowed. Undersheriff Michael Mele and Animal Control Officer Airel Ambrose along with friendly dog Weson visited Josmar at the school.
All items donated will be used at the shelter to provide the animals with a happy stay while they are waiting to be adopted.
