The Mount Pleasant High School chapter of Furr Ever Friends held an adoption event on Saturday, October 17 in the Lowe’s parking lot. The event was a joint effort between Furr Ever Friends and Furr Ever Pets Rescue, a no-kill animal rescue organization based in Longview that specializes in small dogs. Student volunteers walked and cleaned up after the dogs and were instrumental in the adoption of five dogs that day.

The purpose of Furr Ever Friends is to educate students on the care and parenting of pets, how to approach dogs, and how to correct unwanted behaviors. Activities for the year include guest lectures from local veterinarians, the collection of items needed for the care of foster pups, and organizing adoption events.

MPHS Furr Ever Friends is sponsored by Sadonna Parker and assisted by Kaye Serafin, both MPHS employees.
