All Cities in Indiana -- Teens who love animals now have an opportunity to help them and earn community service hours for school.

"The program will allow students to share their energy and talents with others. Through these activities they can develop a greater awareness of themselves, build confidence as well as a concern for other people and animals alike.  It will allow them to help make a difference.," says  Lisa Rice, Secretary and Fund Raising Director of Indiana Petite Paws Rescue.

The teens will work with adult volunteers of the organization in helping find unwanted pets a forever home, organizing fund raisers and even planning community events.

Benefits of the Petite Paws Teens Program include spending time with animals in need, educating the public about the importance of spaying and neutering to decrease today’s pet over-population, the importance of proper Vet care, promote public awareness on Puppy Mills, learn leadership and mentoring skills, meet professionals in the pet care industry, make new friends, accumulate community service hours, and earning eligibility for college scholarships.
