Alaqua Animal Refuge announced that local Johndra Culp is their very first Animal Hero of the Month.

The Alaqua team said that Johndra has truly gone “above and beyond” with their special needs dogs.

For example, Alaqua’s sweet senior dog, Daphne, is now in hospice care at the refuge, but she still gets to go on field trips with Johndra. Those are truly Daphne’s happiest days. Johndra takes other dogs on field trips as well, and she does it simply to give those dogs a special day and to make them feel loved.

Johndra is a very special person and Alaqua said that they are honored to have her as a volunteer and are forever grateful for her selfless acts.

CONGRATS to Johndra for this well-deserved recognition!
