Five dogs were adopted and around 100 rabies shots administered Saturday morning at Gurganus Farm Store in Whiteville.

Columbus Animal Protective Services brought a trailer full of shelter dogs for potential new owners to meet, greet and possibly take home. Ward’s Nuts and Honey had a variety of products for sale. Antique tractors from across the county were on display as well.
More than $1,000 worth of food, pet supplies and care products were donated for the event. Everything not handed out as door prizes will be turned over to APS on Monday.
Drawings for dog food and other supplies will take place on a Facebook live event Monday as well.

This renovated military surplus trailer was obtained at no cost for APS. The trailer was used to carry military canines. It’s now used for transporting dogs to adoption events and rescues.
Many of the dogs who were vaccinated Saturday were hunting hounds. APS workers provided curb
service for some of the rabies vaccine customers, and worked out an assembly line using a kennel at the store for others.
Kimberly Quattlebaum and her family brought two dogs and Hope the Goat to Saturday’s event.
