Hello Readers! I'd like to make a correction to this story. Project Paws Alive most certainly did present us with a ceremonious donation at the council meeting that evening, along with some additional equipment for K9 Nina to use. However, the CONYERS KENNEL CLUB was also present and made a ceremonious donation of almost $1,000.00 towards the purchase of K9 Nina's bulletproof vest! We are so very grateful to both organizations for their generosity and interest in our K9 program! THANK YOU BOTH, VERY MUCH!
