On May 1, 2009, the PVMA hosted their first Pennies For Puppies Drive at Boca Elementary School. The day consisted of presentations in 10 classrooms to educate the children on humane treatment of animals, the importance of proper vet care and hygiene and the rewards associated with adopting a pet from a local shelter. The presentations were each followed by a visit from two of Florida Humane Society's newest arrivals, Beatle and Dixie.
The event was a great success. The kids really enjoyed their visit with the FHS puppies and we all learned so much! Thanks to our Pennies For Puppies founder, Liz Hodge for preparing a wonderful event program. Special thanks also go out to all of our volunteers who earned DOUBLE the service points for their participation: Allyson, Bianca Murphy, Christie Gonzalez and Alexa Majdalawi.
