Mandela Day at the Park

Dogs are loyal, loving, hilarious, and endlessly forgiving creatures who have a knack for warming our hearts.

Community members around Nice on Poplar Park and the surrounding area had a furry-filled day where they got to spend 67 minutes with a rescue dog.

Celebrating Mandela Day on July 15, with puppy love and donating to their well-being was the highlight for the attendees.
