Commemorate and Celebrate Veterans by Helping Stiggy's Dogs
Once again the Canton Public Library is honoring our veterans by holding a collection drive. This year we are featuring Stiggy's Dogs, a non-profit organization that rescues and trains shelter dogs to become service guides for veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or Traumatic Brain Injuries. They "Rescue One to Rescue Another" in honor of fallen hero HM3 Benjamin 'Doc Stiggy' Castiglione, who loved the Marines, his family and dogs. Throughout May we will be gladly accepting the following donations at the reception area:- collars
- flea and tick medication
- toys (especially tennis balls)
- nail clippers
- dog treats (no rawhide please)
- dog beds/blankets
- dog crates (new/used)
- treadmills (new/used)
- cash donations (checks made to Stiggy's Dogs)
