Students Bake Treats for TOH Animal Shelter

Grand Avenue Middle School students from the Home and Careers classes, under the direction of Ms. Cullen, volunteered to make dog treats for animals in need. The students worked together to make six dozen delicious treats for animals at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter.

The Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter has one of the highest adoption rates in the nation. Animal Control Officers respond to over 6,000 requests for service every year, including 500 night emergency calls. They strive to maintain a clean and healthy facility for the humane care and housing of stray and abandoned dogs, and to find a new home for each of their animals that are deemed suitable pets.
