This week’s Camp PAW-some at the Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center was all about the furry critters.
On Thursday, campers ages 6 to 10 learned how to take care of animals as well as “why it’s important to treat them with love and respect” and “what we can do to make the world a better place for them,” according to the animal shelter.
Children also made friendship bracelets, watched a dog obedience demonstration and more.
On Friday, Camp PAW-some will welcome campers ages 11 to 14.
