Furry Friends



Adorable dogs of all sizes circled the ring at Ellenton’s annual Mutt Strut event to raise both money and awareness for animal welfare. ManaTEENS attended the event to offer refreshments and information about our club, along with the Humane Society, Animal Health Services, and Animal Network. Volunteers even helped with the blessing of a future Seeing Eye dog.

Vicki Shannon from Animal Network greatly appreciated the event and the effort of the volunteers. “It’s a really nice thing to do for animals,” she said. Shannon also does nice things for animals, such as rescuing feral cats and providing them with shelter and shots for rabies. Both Shannon and ManaTEENS agree with “saving what needs saving,” which, according to Shannon, includes people in financial turmoil to abandoned animals.
