Art for the Animals and an Adoption, Too!

Sheridan School's 7th grade students are not only awesome artists but they are crafty, resourceful  kids who decided to do something to help the animals at the Humane Rescue Alliance.   They created dog toys out of scraps from other art projects.
The dogs at the shelter serenaded visitors with the hand sewn squeaker toys and the puppies played tug with the long braids.
Many of the Sheridan School students live with rescue animals. One of the student's family adopted  a little puppy, Patagonia,  from the shelter a couple of years ago.  Cole  kindly forwarded a photo of the regal looking Bella for staff to see .   We LOVE updates.   Bella is pretty in pink!

A Birthday Tradition Benefitting WARL Animals



Bella and her friend pose in front of bags of birthday donations.  Julian, an animal caretaker, and Ruby, WARL's  Medical Director's loyal companion, show their appreciation for all of the gifts.

This is not the first time that Bella has asked for gifts for the animals at WARL in lieu of birthday presents.  Last year she and her mom delivered so many bags that WARL staff declared it a colossal donation.  This year's birthday delivery came in two carloads!   Bella, who wants to be a veterinarian like her grandmother, understands that shelter animals benefit greatly from comfy beds, toys and treats -- so that's what Bella asked friends, family, and classmates to give to help celebrate her birthday -- linens, toys, and treats for the animals at WARL.   Thanks, Bella, have a great year!
