Companions For Life and Animal Rescue of Texas are teaming up to fill the shelves at Dallas' soon-to-be opened animal shelter with books that encourage humane treatment of animals!
The Project Hope book drive is intended to build a children's classroom library at the shelter, which is slated to open in 2007. We're gathering donated books that hopefully will inspire compassion toward animals.
Teaching children respect, responsibility and kindness toward animals helps them become adults who practice caring and compassion toward not just animals, but also the people in their lives and society as a whole.
Donors are asked to contribute new or gently used books and are encouraged to choose books from humane education award winners listed on www.compa nionsforlife.org. Some of the well- known and beloved stories that are requested include: A Home For Nathan, A Friend Indeed, Forever Friends, Orville – A Dog Story, and Dog Blue.
The donations, which are tax deductible, can be dropped off at any Animal Rescue of Texas adoption event or Canine Commissary location.
Please consider donating! The book drive ends October 31, 2006!
