Round-of-a-Paws to Girl Scout Troop #964!

Round-of-a-Paws!

Thank you to the young ladies of Girl Scout Troop #964 for making beautiful blankets for the dogs and cats in our shelter! Our animals appreciate your hard work!

Do you have a Girl Scout Troop or group looking for a service project helping animals? Create blankets like Troop #964, or visit our website to download a copy of our Wish List. Your group can hold a supply drive to collect items our shelter needs each and every day, from paper towels to pet treats!

You can also visit the Valley Animal Center's booth at the Girl Scouts of Central California South's "World Thinking Day" at the Fresno Convention Center Exhibit Hall on Saturday, February 28th from 10 am to 3 pm! We hope to see you there!
