Barrio Dogs would like to say thank you to
Adelayda, Kassandra, Yvette, Iliana, Nancy and Jackie, senior students from Yes Prep -
Southeast who have been volunteering this summer in our A Home for All
program. They have been going to the AC Boarding regularly to walk,
socialize, play with and groom our rescued dogs.
The
students were asked as a school project to choose a place where they
could offer their volunteer services for the summer. They chose Barrio
Dogs because they love and care about homeless animals. This has been a
win-win situation for both the dogs and students; the dogs obtained
much needed socialization and exercise time while the students learned about proper animal care, training and how to address the
overpopulation problem in their communities. Each day they come in they
not only help enrich the lives of the kenneled dogs but learn about the
importance of spaying and neutering pets. The students have really
enjoyed spending time with the dogs, have fallen in love with them all and
wish they could take each one home. Barrio Dogs’ mission is to
educate, empower and transform; we believe these young students have
taken this mission to heart and are future leaders in the making.
