## Summary

Hanover County Animal Protection and Shelter has raised about $280,000 through “Trashed Panda” merchandise inspired by a raccoon found passed out in a Virginia liquor store. The campaign has turned a viral incident into funding for animal care and equipment for officers.

The raccoon was found last November after entering the store and was later released; officials do not know where he is now. Shelter chief Jeffrey Parker said the money will support animals at the shelter and help pay for bodycams for animal protection officers.
