Hunter Grimes Earns the Noble Rank of Eagle!
Hunter, being an animal lover, came to Noah's Ark wanting to do a service
project benefiting animals. He toured the sanctuary, observed and
learned of the many different needs for the dogs, cats and horses. Noah's
Ark had taken in an abused and neglected rescue horse a few months earlier and
from the bits and pieces
learned, she was apparently a show horse trained for barrel racing. After
several months of loving, tender care and nourishing food, the shelter
volunt
eers
questioned her becoming overly obese. Alas! A visit from the
local veterinarian confirmed that she was pregnant.
When Noah's Ark purchased the shelter property, there was an old existing
barn used by the previous owners for storage. The shelter did not
have the proper facilities or was prepared for a mother-to-be.
Hunter decided to help Noah's Ark and Sassy by cleaning out the barn and
enlarging the stalls to accommodate the expectant mother.
To say the least, the barn was packed full of junk and was a total mess!
What a project!! Hunter enthusiastically organized and mobilized his fellow troop members and parents to come out to help clean the old barn and erect the stalls. It was a very long and all day project. It was a beautiful day to work and play with the dogs and cats. We all enjoyed a lunch time break, a plate of barbeque and each others company. Thank you Hunter and friends!
