Many Home Depot employees are pet owners and lovers, so this donation definitely comes from the heart.”

Douglas County Commission Chairman Tom Worthan stated, “Home Depot has again showed its heart towards the Douglas County community, and we greatly appreciate this generous donation that will be put to such good use.”
