HRA Adoption Leads to Advocacy for All Shelter Animals

Pearl helped to raise awareness and money for the animals as part of her upcoming bat mitzvah project. Pearl's initial dog biscuit booth at the Van Ness Farmers' market netted  $50 for HRA. Most generous shoppers paid more than the suggested $3 per bag, which contained two home-made biscuits. Pearl's efforts were inspired by the recent adoption of her very cute HRA dog, Phoebe. She even recruited her friend Mable to help with the marketing. Mabel is a recent alumnus of Caring Kids Camp at HRA. Thanks, Pearl. Surely, Phoebe, too, was a big help in the test kitchen!

Bat Mitzvah Biscuits Benefit WARL

Helping animals is easy when you have a cute mascot like Quigely, home-baked dog treats, and information highlighting the good work that WARL does every day on behalf of the animals. It's making it all come together that takes a huge effort.  When Emily decided to support WARL by raising money and awareness as part of her bat mitzvah project, she reached out to us to help gather information. Emily took it from there, creating an information-packed display board and baking dog biscuits, to sell in packages of three and five, at the Westover Elementary School  Fall Flea Market. The booth was a huge success, netting $125 for the cats and dogs at WARL. Thank you, Emily!
