A Visit from Tanner's Paws

On Thursday January 28th, we had the great pleasure to be visited by Christie from  Tanner’s Paws.  The students were able to learn about the  organization that she started.  Christie brought a beautiful dog named Bella with her and talked a little bit about how Tanner’s Paws helped her by paying for some very expensive surgeries.  Bella is an older dog who is deaf and is currently in permanent foster placement.  Bella enjoyed her visit to A-3 by playing with some of the dog toys that were donated.  The students learned that Tanner's Paws will help animals by paying for health screenings, surgeries, food and other basic supplies.  Tanner's Paws places dogs into foster care until they can be adopted and they pay for all of the needs of the dog while it is in foster care and are a no kill shelter.

The A-3 Youth Council did a donation drive during the month of December and January.  As a result, we received many wonderful donations, including dog toys, collars, leases, blankets, dog food and treats.  Christie presented A-3’s Youth Council with a beautiful certificate of Appreciation!  Thank you to all who donated!
