NEWS 8/5/06: Volunteer Orientation today!
NEWS 7/26/06: Today we were visited by Girl Scout Troop 1780 (led by Troop Leader Sammi Jo). The girls were here as part of their Interest Projects Program to learn about our facility, our community, and our pets. We had a lot of fun working with socialization of cats and dogs and we got to talk about our local animal laws and the people who enforce them. We also talked about different things we do to take care of our pets like giving them blankets to sleep on, brushing them, and keeping them clean. Below are the girls holding some of the pets we got to work with today. Thank you so much for coming out to visit us. We hope to have you back soon!
