Hardware Sales

The Spay Station had 2 successful days at a new location in Bellingham, Hardware Sales. 

  A sweet kitty was brought by her family.  Staff members, Julie, Chris, and new morning registration person, Rebecca, welcomed clients and their animals.

Dr. Karen Mueller met with Patricia and Chris before going onboard.  Kathryn and Julie began preparations for the surgeries.

Zara entered weights and medications in the computer as one concerned dog looked glumly from a cage.

  Other sweet pups looked out – also not happy with the morning.

Two kitties waited their turn.

Many thanks to Hardware Sales for hosting the Spay Station.  Here is the heartwarming story of a Bellingham classic:

When Max and Alta McClellan bought Powder Sales in Bellingham, Washington back in 1962 - a company that sold dynamite to loggers, miners and road builders - the expression "booming business" meant more to them than most folks. The store's name changed in 1971 to Hardware Sales, after the business expanded and moved across the street.

After Max's death in 1997, Alta with her son Jerry, daughter LaDonna, and grandsons Rich and Ty, became the driving force behind Hardware Sales. And now with Lacey & Brittney on board, Hardware Sales boasts 4 generations currently working in the family business!
