The Problem
We want to make the animals feel cared for by spending time with cats and dogs at a no-kill shelter, and to possibly bring some pets home. We also donated food to the shelter.
Our Plan
We visited the shelter for 2 hours and played with the indoor and outdoor penned dogs and the indoor cats. One of our students adopted a cat and the other is currently considering fostering cats.

Through this project I/we learned:
We learned how important it is to spend time with pets, especially those that are homeless. It made us happy and it certainly brought joy to them as well!
What I/we might change:
We would offer our help with maintaining the shelter and hold a public drive for food and goods.
My/our favorite part of this project was:
Our favorite part was seeing tails wag!
Some tips, tricks or fun facts about the project:
Always know which animals can be handled or petted since some of them have been abused and are afraid of other animals and people.
