Jefferson Country Store selling shirts to suppor Bigbee Humane

In support of Bigbee Humane Society, several people in and around Marengo County have donned “Store Dog” t-shirts purchased at Jefferson Country Store. On Saturday, March 8,volunteers from Bigbee picked up a check for $200, proceeds from the first round of t-shirt sales.

The t-shirts feature the store’s four-legged friend, Store Dog 1, the only survivor of three dogs who came to the store shortly after it opened for business in October. The dog is cared for by the community, including neighbors who stop by on Sunday afternoons to leave food and treats for him.

A limited quantity of shirts is still available at the store, and additional sizes or quantities can be pre-ordered at Jefferson Country Store. For more information, email jeffersoncountrystore@gmail.com or visit the store’s page at www.facebook.com/jeffersonstore.
