Last night at the Granville County Board of Commissioners meeting, Roxanne Blackburn was awarded the Granville County Volunteer Service Award for Animal Welfare. Roxanne is the first to receive this award for her animal welfare work since the Commissioners began this awards program. Commissioner Sue Hinman presented the award along with Animal Control Director, Matt Katz, and Dr. Trudi Bowden, a member of the Granville County Animal Control Advisory Committee.
Roxanne has spent hundreds of hours working with the animal shelter, including taking photos of all the dogs that come through the shelter and working with rescue groups to get dogs into foster programs. She is integral to the great work that is done at the Granville County Animal Shelter. We also use her photos on the county website and Facebook pages, so she helps more than one county department!
Thank you, Roxanne, for all that you have done, and we know will continue to do, for Granville County residents with two AND four legs!
