Bicycle and AGHR Director.
This is Stetson. AGHR saved him from near-death neglect in a junkyard in Lancaster in 2014. One of our fosters adopted him after rehabilitation, and gave him a loving home. He had a terrible colic emergency and she sent him to the hospital for surgery, but his body never recovered. He will be loved and fondly remembered forever.
