Sarah receives the Resolution from Mayor Fraim

March 22, 2011 was an exciting day for Animal Rescue of Tidewater and Spay Hampton Roads! At that evening’s Norfolk City Council meeting, Mayor Fraim presented a Resolution, recognizing and supporting both organizations and the work we have done to help animals in Hampton Roads. Sarah Crawford accepted the Resolution on our behalf.
