COMETS Coin Drive Returns!
After a two year hiatus due to the pandemic, we were happy to welcome back the Desert Springs Preparatory sixth grade leadership class, along with their families and teachers Mrs. Berg and Mrs. Pela. The COMETS (Community Outreach Means Everyone Teams for Success) held a school-wide coin drive and raised $1,100 for ABC. Way to go, COMETS!
After the check presentation, every one got to tour a dog building (the dogs barked their loudest “hello”), play with some kitties in the cattery, and share treats with some well mannered dogs. ABC Volunteers were there to talk about the history and mission of ABC and to demonstrate the best way to greet a new dog. Each student received a treat to give to the rescue dogs, we’re not sure who was more excited about it – the kids or the pups!
Thank you COMETS for your continued support of ABC, not only did you help the animals, but you also helped reduce the coin shortage!

COMETS Coin Drive Raised $1,400!
Desert Springs Preparatory sixth grade COMETS leadership class once again organized a successful coin drive fundraiser to support ABC. COMETS stands for Community Outreach Means Everyone Teams for Success. Through their team work and dedication they helped raise over $1,400 for our cause, we’d call that a success!
After the check presentation, the class learned about the importance of pet safety, microchipping, and spay/neuter. They got to meet and spend time with some of our adoptable cats & dogs, including wonder dog Hunter, who lost his right eye and leg after being hit by a car. They also learned how a microchip scanner works and got to try it first hand.
Thank you to teachers Mrs. Berg and Mrs. Pela, the COMETS, and their parents, for supporting ABC for a 5th consecutive year!
