The Barnesville Holiday Hustle 2017 benefits the Dolly Goodpuppy Society, a 501c3 organization with a mission to promote responsible pet ownership, rehome and adopt abandoned dogs as well as offer low cost spay and neuter. We have significantly reduced the unwanted puppies in Lamar and surrounding counties through the support of donations and grants such as Lamar 365 Foundation and any number of regional organizations. There is always more to do. We appreciate any donations but the Holiday Hustle is going to be an extremely FUN way to support the dogs and light the way to the holiday season!!
