Forty people and a variety of pets - dogs, a rabbit, a cat - attended a Responsible Pet Workshop on Saturday afternoon at Community Health Professionals.
Melanie Butterfield (kneeling, right, with 14-year-old Ellie) organized the event as part of her Girl Scout gold award. There was a speaker about pet rescue and a veterinarian who talked about how to care for pets.
Melanie, a senior who is homeschooled, also obtained many donations which were handed out as door prizes to those who attended. She is a member of Alger Troop 20301. Melanie is the daughter of Randy and Angie Butterfield.
