Happy 5 year Anniversary DCSIR. You and all the volunteers impact & inspire so many lives by your commitment to make every day a better world. This is in memory of our son Ryan Lanford and our sweet Shiba, Scout. We currently have 3 Shiba’s – Bodhi, Inca and Amai that bring us so much happiness. Ryan had a special bond with each dog and they loved him unconditionally.
