December 8, 2016 Called to Serve, Youth

animal-defense-league-youth-1This past Sunday the St. George Youth group visited the Animal Defense League of Texas.  This non-profit institution’s mission focuses on supporting and enhancing neglected and abused dogs and cats throughout the San Antonio Community.  Our youth group helped in this mission on Sunday by providing the various animals at ADL with “snack bags.”  The youth created bags filled with an assortment of wet food, dry food, peanut butter, sweet potatoes, canned chicken, and vegetables.  The youth then delivered these bags of goodies to the various kennels on campus.  It was quite amazing how quickly barking and skeptical animals became quiet once these bags were in their kennel.  The youth then got to experience some one on one time with puppies and kittens which is always fun.  It was a great event and a wonderful way to spread holiday cheer to our fury friends who need it most.
