Students from Lowndes High School's Friends 'Fur' Life club visited the Humane Society of Valdosta and Lowndes County with treats, food, and toys, WCTV reported. They also walked dogs that are waiting for adoption.
The visit put supplies on the shelf and gave dogs time out of their kennels. It was a club outing, not an adoption event with a tally of new homes.
For the classroom
Students in the Friends 'Fur' Life club at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia, visited the Humane Society of Valdosta and Lowndes County. They brought treats, food, and toys. They also walked dogs that are waiting to be adopted. A shelter dog still needs a walk and a person to pay attention even before a family takes it home. The club's visit was one afternoon of supplies and time, not a count of how many dogs were adopted that day.
- Why does a shelter dog need a walk before it is adopted?
- What kinds of supplies are useful at an animal shelter?
- How is visiting different from adopting?
