🏘️ Community
Director Alexsey Dobberstine reduced the average shelter stay by nearly a week at Midland Animal Services as she nears her one-year anniversary, and the shelter now holds 238 animals, mostly kittens and puppies.
Community support + programs such as Doggy Day Out have helped drive adoption success.
🏥 Health
Vitalant is urging local residents to donate blood as supplies of Type O remain low; officials said aging donors + summer travel have reduced donations since May 2024.
Donating today may help hospitals avoid tough choices about who receives this life-saving blood.
