REDFIELD, Ark. – A group of volunteers from Boston have been spending time in the Natural State this week helping to upgrade animal shelters.

31 members of the group Last Hope K-9 Rescue joined additional volunteers from Arkansas.

In addition to traveling to Arkansas and donating their time, the group also raised more than $60 thousand to spend on projects in Arkansas shelters, including reinforcing a fence at a shelter in Redfield.

"We have volunteers that pay their own way, pay their own flight down, take their own time off and we raise money,” Maura Tutty from Last Hope K-9 Rescue said. “So far we've raised 65,000 dollars in order to help support projects at 9 shelters over the past five days."
