Marquette Heights 3rd grade learned about the responsibility of owning a pet and how to help keep pets in homes vs ending up in a shelter. This amazing group also collected donations to help support the animals in our care. We had an absolute blast, and the animals loved it! Our community of all ages is truly what makes TAPS a success.
