NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Putnam County boy who loves animals turned his birthday last week into a fundraiser for shelter animals.
You won't believe what he collected!
Keith Pattison turned ten last Tuesday, March 12th and for a month leading up to it he asked for donations on Facebook to collect enough to pay for the adoption of one cat, one dog and 100 items to give to the Putnam county animal shelter.
Well, I talked to his mom, Tracy who tells me, donations came pouring in! He actually raised enough to pay for three cats and dogs and for another dogs expensive heartworm medication.
With a little leftover, he bought pizza and cupcakes for the shelter workers.
It's been a birthday tradition for the past five years! Hes a volunteer too!
One of the best things about Tennessee is its beauty. Reporter, Chris Davis, certainly makes the most of it as an avid hunter and fisherman. When he turned the spotlight on the potential funding shortfall the TWRA is facing - it hit a nerve with many of our viewers. To find out more, make sure to watch this story.
