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!
