Bottles fundraiser on Saturday to benefit The Mosby Foundation, pet food pantry
A Staunton-based nonprofit is celebrating 20 years of assisting dog owners throughout the United States with keeping their beloved pets healthy and in their home. The Mosby Foundation was created in 2004 in memory of a dog named Mosby who was a celebrity of sorts in the Downtown Staunton community. His owner and founder of the nonprofit, Carole Adams, rescued the Malamute-Husky mix dog from a railroad station in Florida in 1997. Mosby became a fixture in the downtown area with politicians, children and visitors visiting stopping in to give the dog a pat on the head. In 2003, Mosby was intentionally killed, and the story got news coverage nationwide. One year later, the foundation began as a way to put donations from all over the country to good use in memory of Mosby.
