Nanette DuMont is a transplant to Mount Vernon and a volunteer with Dogs of Knox Fund which helps raises funds for the Knox County Dog Shelter.  Denise Gamez is a 1988 graduate of Mount Vernon High School and is part of a foundation she and her husband, PGA Golf Pro Robert Gamez.  Team Gamez Foundation helps support scholarships for different charities supporting children and animals. 

July 30, 2022 marks the 2nd annual Puppy PAWlooza event at BDK Event Center east of Mount Vernon on Coshocton Road.  The event hosts a musical line-up of local and national artists along with a silent auction.  

Nanette and Denise discuss why the Dogs of Knox County fund is so important to the both of them.  Also, they get into how the commitment, dedication, and love the volunteers have of the Knox County Dog Shelter can boast such an impressive success record of adoptions.  
Their purpose is to provide the Knox County Animal Shelter with support in rescuing unwanted, abused, and neglected dogs and to provide for their medical needs so they will not be euthanized. Dogs of Knox Fund Inc. locates rescues for unwanted stray, neglected and abused dogs and assists in providing shelter, food and care for their needs until the dogs are placed in homes through adoption.
