Last month, we brought you the story of 11-year-old Josh Waufle of Trigg County who created an Amazon ‘Wish List’ to collect money and supplies for the Christian County Animal Shelter. On Sunday, Josh and his family made their delivery that included 288 pounds of dog food, 66 pounds and 160 cans of cat food, 290 pounds of cat litter, 12 litter boxes, 450 puppy pads, 96 towels, and 72 dog toys among other items.
Josh, who owns four dogs and a cat, said last month that he got the idea after seeing a commercial on TV.
