Dogs at the Cabell-Wayne Animal Shelter in Huntington have more comfortable
places to sleep thanks to a Lawrence County Girl Scout troop. Members of
the Girl Scout Wilderness Road Troop 900 from the Chesapeake area spent almost
the entire summer building platforms for the 27 dog cages at the shelter.
For this, four of the five girls in the troop received the Bronze Award, the
highest award a Junior Girl Scout can receive.

Troop 900 completed the highest Junior level award, the Bronze Award. The girls
built replacement platforms for the dogs at the Huntington Cabell Wayne Animal
Control Shelter. These new platforms give them a place to lie and sleep off the
concrete floor.
Over
the course of the last year, our troop has called upon many local individuals
and businesses for donations of time, materials, money, food, etc. The response
was wonderful!
We
would like to thank the following sponsors but their contributions that made the
project possible: Albert (Black) Construction, Four J’s Building Components,
Brag's Paint and Body Inc., Briggs Library Eastern, Hawthorne's Body Shop of
Proctorville. 84 Lumber Route 60, Jennifer and Stephanie.
