Past community-focused activities have included the Dog Days of Summer celebration, featuring free food, pet-friendly giveaways, raffles, and sponsored adoption fees to help more dogs find homes. These initiatives encourage families to participate, volunteer, and donate, while building greater trust and support across Pickaway County.
