Spring 2024

RUSC Kinship at the Humane Society

RUSC Kinship wanted to give back.

We made cat and dog treats and beds for our furry friends at the Stevens County Humane Society. The treats were certainly a hit with our furry friends!

Our hearts (and arms!) were full when we delivered the treats and beds to the Humane Society.
