Ready for the cutest creativity event of the season?!

AWS’ Youth Programs Coordinator, Miss Amanda, as well as professional artist, Piper Castles, from River Tree Arts will be hosting a fun and interactive drawing workshop here at the Boston House at AWS! Designed for students in Grades 6+, children will learn and practice drawing skills of springtime animals while also being able to interact with them! What’s better than drawing alongside some adorable, hoppy bunnies?!

Join the event on Saturday, April 6 from 9 am- Noon. Registration is through River Tree Arts, but you can access the registration form on our website! 50% of all proceeds will be donated directly to AWS. We can’t wait to see your little artists there!
St. Patrick's Day may be over, but we can't miss the opportunity to share this sweet Happy Homes story of a dog previously named Shamrock. Adopted from us years ago, his human sister wrote in to tell us how happy she is with her best friend, now named Coda. We'd definitely say he's one lucky little shamrock alright! 

"Coda is just the most amazing dog ever! He is so humorous and adventurous and I could not think of another reason that I would ever wake up early and walk in below freezing temperatures. But he inspires me to take that nightly stroll! He is so fluffy and loves being snuggled and going to his occasional ice cream stops. I got him when he was just a puppy and I was only in 2nd grade. Now I am 17 and we sure have grown up together. I love him!" 🍀

Happy National Puppy Day! One of the best ways to celebrate your furry friend is to learn how to keep them healthy and safe. And since March also happens to be Flea and Tick Prevention Month, now is the perfect time to review where those pesky parasites could be hiding. Ticks like to attach where they can't easily be removed by the host! 

Making sure your pets are up to date on their flea, tick, and parasite medications is the best way to keep them safe from unwanted guests. Even in the winter months, pets should be on preventatives. Happy spring to you and your pup!
