A retirement party was held this weekend for two longtime employees of the Kiya Koda Humane Society in Indianola.

Both Kathi Pfeifer and Judy McClymond spent over 40 years working at the shelter which was started in 1973 working out of local homes, and were a part of the move to their current building in 1981. Kiya Koda is currently looking for employees, volunteers, and monetary donations to help keep the shelter open. For more information, visit the Kiya Koda Humane Society website.
