What is little paws?

My name is Natalie. I am working on my Silver Award Project, which is a project a Girl Scout does in their Cadette year; they add something permanent to their community. My project is called Little Paws. My project is adding another section to Long Island Lending a Helping Hand. This section will be for pets. I am committing to this project because some people can’t afford dog food or cat litter. People in that situation sometimes think they can't keep their pets and will take them to the shelter. Pets are important family members, and no one should have to decide to give them up because of financial issues. This project will help provide families with pet supplies so they can care for their pets.
