The Fairhaven Animal Shelter’s fund-raiser, “Raise the Woof,” added nearly $7,000 to the animal shelter gift account, according to Animal Control Officer Terry Cripps. The money will be used to fix a leaky roof and to get some sorely needed electrical repairs to the building.

The event on Saturday, 10/7, included an Open House, yard sale, vendors, alpacas from Hill Crest Alpacas, music and food.

“One woman came in and left a check for $1000 with one of our volunteers. I had to chase after her to thank her,” wrote Mr. Cripps in an email. “Another couple gave a check for $500. With all of the negative things we see on the news these days it really warmed my heart to see all of the good in people during our event. “

The money will to into the gift account which is used to supplement town funds for the daily operations of the shelter, for anything from clean­ing sup­plies to vet bills for the animals.
