Community Stories: Cats and Dogs
Community Stories: Cats and Dogs
4/2/20069:48
Folks with pets often label themselves as either cat people or dog people. But one thing they can agree on is that animals enrich and enhance our lives, and taking good care of them reflects our capacity for good stewardship. Nina Pruneda and Nancy Burke, two volunteers for PAWS Seattle and Seattle Purebred Dog Rescue respectively, have taken it one step further by dedicating their time to homeless cats and dogs and finding them new families. By caring for these critters, Nina and Nancy demonstrate a compassion and respect for living things that can carry out to the community at large.
