Adoption Tails Community Service
Have you adopted a pet from an animal shelter or rescue league and given them a new home? Tell us your story and why rescuing and adopting an animal from a rescue league or shelter is so important to you. To participate fill out our form here and tell us your story.
Participants can submit one story per rescued pet. Each story will be worth 1 hour of community service. Your submission will not be considered complete until you e-mail Ms. Rose a picture of your pet at the communityservice@lindenhurstlibrary.org e-mail. Submissions will be used to create social media posts promoting shelter and animal rescue adoption.
Teen Book Reviewers
