During the month of August, several of our RCA members decided to continue supporting our local animal shelter. After a brainstorming session, the group decided to create chewing toys for the animals by recycling old t-shirts. The shirts were prepared, cut into strips and then braided. Two different styles of toys were created. The group has continued to support the local animal shelter with handmade blankets and food donations in the past. This time the group wanted to help with handmade toys to help keep the animals entertained and active. Oftentimes these animals stay in the shelter for days if not weeks and months with little to no entertainment. This has a negative impact on the animals. The group hopes that the toys will help to alleviate the loneliness and the boredom that these animals are experiencing.
