‘Cans for Canines’ raises more than $1,000 for Hart Co. Animal Shelter

HART COUNTY, Ky. – A recent fundraiser for the Hart County Animal Shelter raised over $1,000.

Cans for Canines was a fundraiser organized by Hart County jailer Israel Bergenson and his family.

They asked the community to recycle empty cans for a good cause. Once the cans were exchanged for money, the Bergensons and Ace Hardware said they would match that amount in donations to the shelter.

In total, the shelters says $1,285 was raised.

All proceeds will go toward shelter improvements and operations.
