Thora (age 6) and her baby sister Willow (11 months), wanted to make a difference in the lives of animals. Thora talked to her parents about wanting to help animals in need. Their Mom and Dad spoke with Little Shelter staff and came up with an idea for the girls. Quickly the parents and a few neighbors got together to build the girls a beautiful lemonade stand. The girls sold cups of lemonade for 50 cents. While people were enjoying their lemonade, Thora handed out brochures for Little Shelter letting people know that’s where the money was going.

The girls raised hundreds of dollars and donated it to Little Shelter for the ‘Clear The Shelters’, on Saturday, July 23, 2016. The staff at Little Shelter was blown away when they showed up to donate the money. The girls were greeted by the staff and taken for a tour. They met many of the animals that the money would be helping. The money they raised was used to microchip all of the cats and dogs who were adopted at Little Shelter that day. When the girls learned that the money would be used to help keep adopted animals safe, they were extremely excited. “To see children so dedicated to helping the animals and the community is such a wonderful thing.” Stated President Maryann.
59 dogs and cats were adopted through the Clear The Shelters event. Thanks to Thora and Willow’s hard work each animal’s microchip has been paid for. |
