Ask Allie our 11 yr old fundraiser!!!

Allie's family adopted an AHF dog a few years ago.  Allie and her mom wanted to help the dogs that are in the kennel so they went there to walk them.

Allie made an instant connection with Rotty, an AHF dog waiting for a forever home.  Allie was VERY moved by the experience and wanted to do more.  Allie and her friend, Jenny made all kinds of chocolate covered treats (pretzels, marshmallows, strawberries).  They set up a stand at a corner and sold all their treats. 

People were just pulling over and giving a donation.  It was wonderful to watch!  They took their profits and bought treats and toys.  They wanted to bring them to the kennel for the dogs there. 

Allie felt MUCH better leaving the kennel this time.  She said leaving them behind with something they loved helped her.  She couldn't give Springsteen a rawhide due to him having a bad tummy....but she did give him a squeeky toy.  Allie's mom said "I don't think he knew what to do with it though....sad to see a dog that doesn't know about squeeky toys".

Allie's mom added "Very special...this changed her life.  Thanks to AHF and the special kennel dogs!!!"

A BIG THANK YOU to Allie, Jenny and her mom for caring for the dogs at the kennel.  You are all heroes to these animals - and to all AHF.

 

What nice manners Troy has - as he gently takes his chew while in a sit position!	Here's Rotty who loves her chew!  Rotty certainly has a new BFF	This chew is almost as big as Wally!   Wally is partially blind but knew right away this was a treat!
