Better Days was grateful to receive a large donation of canned dog/cat food from Ryder System, Inc. in Shippensburg. We are always in need of canned food as it helps keep the dry kibble more appetizing for our shelter residents. We appreciate the thoughtfulness of Ryder making this awesome donation for all our furry friends waiting for their fur-ever homes.
