Rebecca McSherry is an extraordinary 11-year-old Girl Scout who organized a fund-raiser for Save U.S. Pets Foundation. She shared with us the story of what inspired her to help Save U.S. Pets.
"When we were first looking into dogs about 2 years ago, we fell in love and rescued our former dog Goldie. Actually my parents surprised me on a typical school day. About 2 years later, Goldie had developed a case of leukemia and kidney failure. She had almost passed away in March, but with the vet's special care we were able to have her for 4 more months. Soon her sickness had gotten worse and the vet couldn't do anything to help because her kidneys were shutting down, so she passed away in July. One of my friend's dog, Mia, also had passed this summer.
"After taking Goldie to the vet lots of times we had read about the organization Save U.S Pets. We wanted to do something in Goldie and Mia's memory, so my Girl Scout Troup and I went Christmas caroling in my neighborhood. Instead of the neighbors giving us candy, we had asked instead for a donation for Save U.S Pets. We raised 400 dollars in total. We are proud and happy to raise the money we did. We hope this idea will inspire others to do the same." - Rebecca McSherry
