holiday fundraiser
in honor of lylah
On Sunday, November 10th, I lost one of my amazing pups, my sweet girl, Lylah, to her battle with cancer. In her honor, I am doing this fundraising event with all proceeds going directly to the Sterling Animal Shelter. Your support will help provide care and comfort to animals in need.
