Shelter Supporters Get Furry The Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley reported that it raised more than $7,000 at last weekend’s Fur Ball and 6K Trail Run/Walk. Communications Director Brooke Bonner said the events are as much “friend raisers” as they are fundraisers. “We’re happy with any dollar amount,” she said.
