2. The story of Eggroll

3. We are Team GEEGLE-A! We are doing Destination ImagiNation at Sunset Heights Elementary School. We teamed up with Buddy Up.

4. We made dog toys (left) and bracelets (above) to sell at a party in Portland, Maine. The party is scheduled for March 24, 2012. There were seven challenges, and we chose the World Canvas, which is the outreach challenge. We chose it because we are animal lovers and wanted to help them. We even are incorporating other interests, like building things, into the project.

5. Our project is addressing one community need: homeless animals. So many animals don’t have homes, but we are focused on helping animals that shelters are having trouble getting adopted homes. That is different than just helping a shelter, though, because shelters just take in homeless animals and take care of them while they find a home for them.

6. Buddy Up, the organization we’re working with, is different than shelters; they take animals that have run out of options and search and search for homes for them. They drive the animals around. They call people who were interested in the animals at one point in time.

7. This is Betsy, an animal that Buddy Up worked on. She was a stray, but she was found and brought to a shelter. Betsy stopped grooming, and her health started going downhill. Once Buddy Up found a foster home, though, she cheered right up, and finally found a forever home.

13. This is Ryder. Just like Eggroll, Buddy Up is looking for a home for this sweet little pup. He is a 5- year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix. Just like Eggroll, he is looking for a permanent or foster home currently. He wants to have no cats and probably no other dogs. He loves snuggling and loves people.
