Many, many months ago, our Girl Scout troop hosted a Father Daughter Costume Ball and collected items for a local animal rescue facility. We finally found a time when we could deliver those items and do a little volunteering as well.
The organization the girls chose to help was Mostly Mutts. We went to their main location one day after school last week.
The girls were given the task of moving rocks. We started with this job right away because there was rain in the forecast.
They put the rocks over by the entrance to the facility.
Then the rocks were raked by the owner.
Here's a picture of how nice it looked afterwards.
Then we went inside and learned what we could do to be responsible pet owners.
The girls were given another task to do while we listened. They were given boxes of sterilized vet gloves. They opened the individual packets and separated the gloves. The gloves are used for picking up dog waste in the yard, so they don't need to be sterilized. By separating them, it is easier for them to be grabbed when needed.
Here are the girls at the end of the session. They were happy to be able to help this worthy organization.
This was the last requirement for earning the Pet Care badge.
