Great Harvest made more than 1,000 loaves of bread for Animal Kneads Day.

Each loaf costs $10 and 100 percent of the proceeds go to Animal Care and Control.

Funding from the event covers eight clinics for a year, offering free spay and neuter services to keep the stray animal population under control.

"We do receive other private donations throughout the year that go into that fund but primarily this event is the mainstay keeping those surgeries available for people in our community," said Melissa Knicely of Animal Care and Control.

Last year, the even raised more than $13,000.
