The Two Rivers Middle School humane teen club called the Walking Catfish hosted a fundraiser and dog adoption event for the Animal Friends Humane Society on May 17, 2008.  The event was a huge success!  AFHS brought 10 dogs avaiable for adoption, and 8 of the dogs were adopted.  The remaining 2 dogs were adopted within days of the event.  In addition to finding homes for loveable pets, the Go Humane Cincinnati event raised $2,000 for AFHS. 

To prepare for the event, the Walking Catfish spent countless hours after school every Tuesday.  At their meetings, the students created bookmarks, posters, t-shirt logos, brochures, and even solved multi-step math problems to mix the right amount of dog shampoo for the event’s complimentary dog wash.

SchoolCenter PictureThe Walking Catfish students learned a great deal as they worked hard to prepare for Go Humane Cincinnati. They learned to work together by sharing responsibilities, leading project categories, and communicating.  They also learned the importance of taking care of companion animals as well as the importance of having their pets spayed/neutered to reduse the homeless pet population.  They also learned what it means to live a humane life.  And most importantly, they experienced the feeling of empowerment as they were able to see the benefits of their hard work and dedication.
