About the Author

All five students were apart of Dr. Haley Winston's LDR 3215 who all love animals and worked various weekend shifts at Save A Life Pet Rescue.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

Our group of five chose to volunteer with Save A Life Pet Rescue for our LDR 3215 class. We helped over 50 dogs get adopted in the span of 4 months. Our time was spent working adoption events, advocating for no-kill shelters, and encouraging the community to engage in adopting and/or fostering dogs. Digitally, we created a brand new logo for the organization that will be used for all of their future advertisements. As a group, we discovered ways to improve the quality of life for dogs that are in the process of finding homes. We were also able to learn what it means to connect with the community around us in order to promote healthy adoption. Save A Life is an organization that has supported our participation in making active change happen in our community.
