“We rescued [Xander] from the humane society about four years ago
so we really don’t know his breed. He was actually a surprise Christmas
present. My sister and I had begged my mom for a dog for years
and when we saw him, we all cried.”
- Cecilia Tornetto, 11
XANDER
“Charlie is very hyper but is a huge sweetie. He loves to show off his
toys to anyone that comes through the door. When he gets excited, his
tail runs a mile a minute,”
- Gabby Lindemann, 10
CHARLIE
“She was dumped near one of my mom’s friend’s houses and my mom decided to
take her home. My favorite thing about my animals is that they all have their own
personality. They always make my day better and they help relieve some stress.”
- Owen Spreckelmeyer, 11
GRACIE
“She is two years old. She is a Pit/Lab mix. She loves the outdoors
and she will run into the woods and won’t come back for a while,”
- Skylar Swisher, 12
