On Friday’s (Dec 13, 2013) Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, JRHS President, Matt Opsahl said the free will donation admission raised $235 along with donations of cat and dog food, pet toys and kitty litter.

Jack and Betty Gorman of Jamestown hosted the display, Betty said as a way to give back to the shelter after the Gorman’s recently adopted a pet there.

Opsahl reminded pet owners to make sure their animals are safe from the dangerously cold temperatures. Keep them inside as much as possible, to avoid their paw pads from freezing. He said there are de-icers available that are pet safe.

He said to make sure any outdoor animal shelters are well insulated and away from the wind, and keep pets inside vehicle while traveling.

He pointed out that the James River Humane Society currently has 23 cats and 13 dogs available for adoption.

The shelter is always in need of volunteer, and supplies such as bleach, laundry detergent, Lysol and pine-sol.

The shelter is open daily from 9-a.m. to noon and 5:30p.m., to 6:30-p.m., located off the I-94 Bloom Exit.
