#ChargersToTheRescue --A Partnership with Lunenburg Animal Control 💜💛Over the last few weeks, CHS students have worked to create flyers to promote the adoption day. Also, students made dog treats to be given to each family who adopted a dog. Channel 6 News Reporter, Caroline Coleburn featured a story on the Service Learning project with the Animal Shelter which aired on Thursday and helped promote the Adoption/Donation event at the animal shelter this past Saturday. 💜💛The event was a success! Students volunteered at the shelter Saturday morning. They walked dogs and decorated Kennel #7 which is sponsored by the students in an effort to raise money for the 8th Annual Ruff-In-It Day on Thanksgiving Day. There were 2 dogs and 2 cats adopted as a result of the Adoption/Donation Day. Several monetary donations were collected to go to the spay and neuter program. 💜💛Lucky is a dog that has been at the shelter for almost 7 months. He was adopted by a loving family. On Tuesday, the Small Animal Care students at CHS bathed and groomed him as part of their school-based enterprise-Central Spa and Grooming. The students who sponsored him and worked to get him adopted were present to help pamper Lucky.
