After many weeks of rehearsals, Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, and their friends brought Shrek the Musical, Jr. to life.

Gray skies, cold temperatures, and falling snow can sometimes make us feel lonely and bored. Playing games, sharing stories, and making crafts together with friends is always a great way to beat the winter blues.

Just like people, some dogs are more fortunate than others. Although we often have no idea what a dog has been through in its life, we do know that it needs love and encouragement. Our students are always more than happy to provide that. Although it takes longer for some pups to warm up than others, they usually come around and accept what we have to offer. This is so important because it makes them more adoptable.
