“We are so incredibly humbled that for more than 4 years we have had billboards up in Central Florida! We have seen them in Orange, Brevard, Volusia & Seminole Counties. These billboards were created with love by Clear Channel Outdoor, Luma Photography, @OutdrzByDesign, Kathryn Dunn Oertel & Pam Richards. Together they wanted to help get our name out in the community and ultimately help us save more dogs. All talent, time, supplies & production were donated by these amazing people/companies.”
