Girl Scout Brownies After-school Programs

I have been helping out at the Toledo Humane Society with the Girl Scout & Brownie After school program. The young girls come after school for a Tour of the Humane society, where we talk about what we do at the Humane society to help the animals and take care of them and prepare them for adoptions. I also get to teach and talk about being a Responsible Pet owner, my platform, in which the girls enjoy learning about what an owner needs to do to take care of a new pet.

Here's one picture of me holding a pet while talking about a Owners pet responsibility to the Brownies!!.




This has been a fun time for me, too since I am able to talk about my platform, and being a former Girl scout myself I can relate to these young girls! We meet once a month with a different Brownie troups. Glad to be a part of this education program and looking forward to many more in the future!

George - my Boyfriend

George is a rescued abuse case who has recovered from his injuries and serves as the Toledo Humane Society mascot! I also call him my boyfriend too! We are buddies when I am there! He hangs out in the offices with the staff and gets to have other cat companions to play with. He's so gentle and sweet and I just love him!

Primarily a new Rescue shelter which is currently in the works of getting up and running and that I get to be a part of at the beginning and later after I graduate and become a Veterinarian. I already have a job placement as a Veterinarian. In the meantime, I get to be a part of the planning and building and active involvement with the animals that they will take in as rescues. It so exciting and I am thrilled to be a part of this new Rescue Shelter. The new shelter will be located in Perrysburg, Ohio and that's all I can say right now about the location.

In the meantime, we are scheduling Wrap Four Paws demonstrations. How it works is Schedule your demonstration and invite your friends. For everyone who wraps there will be a specified charge for the wrap and half of the proceeds will be donated to the rescue center and other local animal charities, including the Toledo Humane Society.

Community Service Projects

I am so excited because I have confirmation on two separate locations for my Benefit/fund raiser events scheduled this Spring. One will be a Bowling Benefit and the other will be at a Church which I will host adoptable pets from the Toledo Humane Society. Both events will raise money for the Children's Miracle Network and for my platform benefiting the Toledo Area Humane Society plus maybe a few pets from TAHS will find a forever home. I just need to coordinate dates and times for the events and then can start to plan all the activities and raffles and events for each Benefit.

I also have over 80 baby blankets that need to be delivered and given to babies and children at the St. Vincent's Hospital in Toledo, a Children's Miracle Network Hospital. That's just a start though, more blankets are being donated so I will have more that I can also make donations to other programs and hospitals as well. This will be an ongoing thing now. I am hoping to deliver those blankets soon, but would really like to have won my first title for Miss Ohio by the time I do. Keep your fingers crossed that this weekend will be the one. Wish me luck!!

Check back later for more updates and details of the Benefits!
