I’ve been working at Spokane Humane Society for over a year and was very excited to partner with them with this project. I wanted to show my placement students the benefits of donating to animals in need. I explained to them all the important aspects Spokane Humane Society offers to their adoptable animals. Students were very engaged, since who doesn’t love animals.

In this project, I worked with my students to partner with S.C.R.A.P.S., a local animal shelter. I had my students bring in recycled t-shirts that we cut and braided to make into dog toys. These dog toys were then donated to the shelter for the dog’s awaiting homes.
