ABCs at WARL! -- Animals, Brownies and Chaperons

A week after the blizzard a Girl Scout troop of caring Brownies visited WARL. Volunteer extraordinaire, Roxanne, greeted the girls and their moms and introduced the group to the many cats and dogs waiting for their forever homes.   The group brought donations for the animals and their troop leader followed up declaring a new family obsession -- Animal Planet's PUPPY and KITTEN cams housed at WARL.  We would like to send a HUGE Thank You to WARL and Roxanne! The tour was great, and the girls and parents both learned a lot about how WARL serves the community. The puppy and kitty cam are now fixtures in my house. My daughter and son love it!  

 "Our girls are awesome cookie sellers!" said Stephanie, Ella's mom and Brownie Troop 2888's leader. "When we were working on a financial literacy badge, the girls were tasked with how to spend our cookie money-- they came up with the idea of making toys for shelter animals and contributing  money."  
The girls were very successful!  They visited the League last week bringing lots of handcrafted dog toys and a $250 donation.   Can anyone refuse buying a box of Thin Mints, especially when the purchase goes to help support the animals at the Washington Animal Rescue League?  Thank you troop 2888 for choosing the Washington Animal Rescue League as the recipient of this year's cookie sales.   The many dogs in our care are having a blast with the toys!  And, we've pulled the colorful braided tug toys past a cats or two -- none have complained that they are species specific.
