We are in need of Volunteers especially School Children, to come and help us at the Shelter and on projects related to the Shelter… Volunteers who would like to socialize with the animals, take them for walks and in this way become active participants in some community service.
On the day there were T-Shirts for sale, Donation boxes, information about adopting and of course, dogs to adopt!

3. Caring Collars, Loving Leashes
Marlene Mark, Miguella's mother and a teacher at Howard T. Herber (HTH) Middle School, USA and her teacher's assistant, Mrs. Lisa Doughtery, have come up with a great way to help the Trinidad and Tobago Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (TTSPCA) with managing the dogs at their shelter. "I can't believe how successful it turned out in just one week" said Marlene, "The students of my class were totally enthused, and greatly encouraged to achieve their goal to assist the doggies of our country."
.
Caring Collars, Loving Leashes is a campaign to donate collars and leashes to dogs that will be adopted at the TTSPCA. Why are collars and leashes important? Every dog that leaves the TTSPCA must have an ID tag that is purchased by the owner. If the dog have a corresponding collar, it would make the process a lot easier. Often times, owned dogs are tied to chains all day. Having a leash may encourage owners to walk them!
