The drawings will be on display at our Deps and Dogs event on Saturday, so make sure to stop by and place your bid! Last year the students raised $400 for Adopt A Pet and with your help we’d like to exceed that amount this year!

3. They threaten or sextort.

***FREEMAN ELEMENTARY*** allowed us to come into their school with Bubbles the Blind Beagle. Deputy Worden read a book to the kids about filling and spilling other peoples’ buckets, being nice to one another, and Bubbles taught the kids that being different is okay, and not to judge people based on their differences or disabilities. The most awesome thing happened when a blind student came out of class to meet Bubbles. While he was skittish about dogs in general (because he can’t see them, he said), he connected with Bubbles and we all had tears in our eyes when they connected! Thank you for allowing us into your school and allowing us to interact with your amazing students, Freeman Elementary!
