Saw Mill East general manager Dan Sclafani was originally approached by shelter volunteer Julie Johnson, who was seeking to provide bedding for the shelter's dogs. "I was trying to think of how to put together a large donation and thought 'why not ask Saw Mill Club?' says Johnson. "They replied to my email right away and said they would be happy to donate. I picked up a huge garbage bag full of towels; Dan was so helpful and left the bag right at the front desk."
Making the decision to donate to the shelter was an easy one, says Sclafani. "I highly respect those who help forgotten and neglected animals. Adopt-A-Dog has been finding homes for animals since 1981. So when Julie Johnson asked if Saw Mill Club would be a friend, and help keep these animals warm, it was easy to say yes."
Animal rescue is a passion of Johnson, the proud owner of six rescue cats and dogs. "Being able to help out in any way is very rewarding, some of these dogs have come from really awful situations. It's just the best feeling to see the updates of all the dogs that have found their forever homes."
