Can I take you home? Isabelle King and Pato, a beagle, bonded during the Pet Adoption and Awareness Day sponsored by Girl Scout Troop 806 at the Recreation Center last Sunday. The girls donated nearly $250 to local animal shelters and collected food, toys and blankets.
Organizers of Junior Girl Scout Troop 806's Pet Adoption and Awareness event last Sunday are calling it a success, with three dogs finding potential new homes. One was a beagle who might go to Hewitt Elementary School's principal. The other were two English Spaniel litter mates who are hoping to be placed together. In addition to the adoptions, the troop raised $240 and collected pet food, blankets, towels, gently used bedding and pet toys. The money and goods were divided equally among three local shelters: Bobby and the Strays, Grateful Greyhounds and Heaven Can Wait.
