ASHLAND – At the end of July, the Ashland Public Library had a program for area youth to craft dog and cat toys out of recyclable materials to donate to local shelters. The kids had a great time and made about 50 chew and play toys. The kitty toys were donated in mid-August to The Cat House Feline Sanctuary, and Laura Bailey has reported that “the cats and kittens went wild playing with them.”
Arlene Beasley of the Ashland County Dog Shelter said the shelter was also thrilled with the donation, and said the dogs especially love the chew toys made of the sock-covered plastic beverage bottles.
Both shelter organizations are always in need of material and monetary donations, and the animals need loving, safe homes.
