Sophie-Animal Haven-4/10/09

This Sunday, Anna, Meghan, Edith and I had our final visit with animal haven. This time though, we helped out with an event called Barkfest. It was an event at Macy’s that supports Animal Haven.  You come and bring your dogs to socialize, get your picture taken with a photographer, eat and be entertained with dogs who dress up and do tricks. There was also a raffle where numerous prizes were given out and goodie bags. We arrived there around 9:00 and stayed there till 10:30. We worked with Kendra this time.  Mainly helping direct people, doing small errands and helping clean up. We got to meet some very interestingly dressed, but sweet dogs and their owners. It was funny how sometimes you could definitely tell who the dogs owner was and how much they were alike. There was a chihuahua named Tequila, whose tongue would hangout stupidly, a dog named Jilly who could do numerous tricks (even play poker) and many more. The event was fun and we got some volunteer shirts and we left with leftover goodie bags. We said our goodbyes to Kendra and the staff and we told her we might be coming back in the summer. We love Animal Haven and our visits were always enjoyable. For the teach in, we will split up; Mehgan and Anna will be doing worm composting and Edith and I will be doing animal rights. We thank animal haven for allowing us to work with them and we appreciate the organization greatly.
