As a result of focused efforts from the coalition and the partnership with the Roane County Animal shelter, the Facebook reach for RCADC has exceeded 35,000 and Twitter has increased to 24,000 followers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u041a\u0430\u043a\u043e\u0439 \u0441\u043e\u0432\u0435\u0442 \u0432\u044b \u0431\u044b \u0434\u0430\u043b\u0438 \u0434\u0440\u0443\u0433\u0438\u043c
