Celebrating Our Junior Volunteers
Friday, 20 April 2012

We are always so pleased and proud to have the young people of Dallas step up and apply their talents and love for the welfare of our animals.

 

Two junior volunteers, Danielle and Julia, have recently selected the shelter as beneficiary of their Bat Mitzvah projects.

 

Danielle chose Dog and Kitty City because she loves animals and wanted to do something to help homeless pets. She visited the shelter frequently and socialized with the cats and dogs.

 

For the Kiddish luncheon, Danielle made baskets out of colorful dog bowls and filled them with items for the dogs, cats, and for the shelter (pictured here). These were the centerpieces for the luncheon and then were donated to the shelter. Danielle also made cat toys out of baby socks filled with catnip.

 

Julia is a 7th grade student at St. Alcuin Montessori School, volunteering at the Humane Society as part of her Bat Mitzvah project at Temple Emanu-El. She loves animals and wanted to help the shelter animals. Besides visiting regularly with the animals, Julia painted an HSDC sign for the shelter (pictured here). She has future plans to collect donations for the shelter at her upcoming mitzvah event.

 

We are pleased to acknowledge these junior volunteers who have committed to helping the neediest pets of our community and proud to have them as volunteers.

 
Margrit Coates, A Special Shelter Visitor
Friday, 20 April 2012

Recently the shelter was visited by a very special guest, Margrit Coates. Margrit is the world's leading animal and horse healer and an internationally renowned animal communicator.

 

She toured the shelter and visited with the animals. Staff had selected some special care cats and dogs for her attention and Margrit worked with these animals, suggesting programs and treatments that could help them. Since her visit, staff reports many of these suggestions were applied and successful for the animals in need.

 

We were honored by her visit and grateful for her attention to our sweet animals.

 

Visit her website at margritcoates.com to learn more about this amazing woman.
