Muttley Crew 4-H Club members want to help animals in need.<\/p>\n
Throughout May and June, the club is collecting gently used towels and fleece blankets for the cats and dogs awaiting adoption in the King County Animal shelters.<\/p>\n
Check out the complete shelter wish list at http:\/\/www.kingcounty.gov\/safety\/animalservices\/.<\/p>\n
Some 4-H members found their pets at the King County Animal Shelters and now are enjoying them through 4-H activities.<\/p>\n
Russell Johnson, a junior member of Muttley Crew in Covington, found his dog there in August 2006.<\/p>\n
She is a purebred, female Australian cattle dog named Pepper that was found wondering the streets of Bellevue at 8 months.<\/p>\n
King County Animal Shelter staff treated her injured tongue and vaccinated and spayed her.<\/p>\n
To ensure she would fit well into Russell\u2019s family, an animal control officer interviewed the family and had their two previously rescued dogs meet Pepper.<\/p>\n
Since then Russell and Pepper have been learning obedience, showmanship, agility, and tricks through dog 4-H and other classes.<\/p>\n
If you have gently used towels or fleece blankets you\u2019d like to donate to this 4-H Service Learning Project, collection boxes are located at<\/p>\n
Reber Ranch, 28606 132nd Ave. S.E., Covington Animal Hospital, 27045 174th Place S.E., and the King County 4-H Extension Office, 200 Mill St., Renton, as well as a few other locations.<\/p>\n
