Today, our team had the opportunity to volunteer at Helping Hounds Dog Rescue in North Syracuse. It was the perfect time to be there, as they had just received over 60 newly rescued dogs in need of care and attention. Spending time with them, getting them out for walks, and helping provide some extra attention made the day especially meaningful.

We are proud to support organizations like Helping Hounds that make such a meaningful impact.
