Troop 77464 visits Animal Shelter.
Twelve members of Dover-Sherborn Girl Scout Troop 77464 stopped by the Medfield Animal Shelter for a visit and to drop off donations they had collected for the pets on Wednesday. The girls are 4th graders from Sherborn and hosted a skating party for other troops to earn their community service badge and collect donations for the shelter. The girls enjoyed their visit and especially loved the attention from Ranger, an adorable Bassett/Beagle mix available for adoption. Ranger loved all the attention from them, so it was a perfect match. To search pets available for adoption at the Medfield Shelter, visit the Pet Finder website.
