Jamestown (CSI) The James River Humane Society announces a new memorial fundraiser and a variety of spring projects.

On Friday’s Wayne Byers Show – CSi Cable 2, board member Jay Nitchke said, volunteers and donations are welcome to support the projects consisting of kennel repairs, painting, and ground leveling including the pet cemetery.

The new memorial program offers the opportunity to honor a person past or present, who has shown a love for animals, or may it be the name of a pet who has passed away, as a loving tribute.

The names will be placed on either a dog or cat kennel, of the donors choice.

The donation is a minimum of $100, and the memorial will be in place for a year.

For more information contact board member Chris Meidinger, or go to the shelters website.

The dog kennels will get the memorials first and in about a month the cat kennels.

Jay said the James River Humane Society currently has 15 dogs and 20 cats available for adoption.

For more information contact the shelter at 701-252-0747, located at the I-94 Bloom Exit.

Open every day from 8-a.m., to noon and 3:30-p.m., to 6:30-p.m., or by appointment.
