The Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor has announced that Gene and Kathy Krattli, owners of Paws in the Water, a Friday Harbor business providing warm water therapy for dogs are the Volunteers of the Month for July.

Gene and Kathy have been avid supporters of the animal shelter since they opened the business a few months ago. Not only do Gene and Kathy volunteer at the shelter by walking dogs and participating in fund raising events, they have also been providing free aqua therapy for shelter dogs on a regular basis.

Shelter Manager, Jan Murphy, says, “The shelter dogs benefit so much from their swim sessions! Dogs with mobility issues have been helped as well as healthy, active dogs who just like a good swim and love the social aspects of the therapy.”
