A New Storywalk Story Celebrates Adopt a Shelter Dog Month

 October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, and the Joseph & Elizabeth Shaw Public Library is celebrating with a new Storywalk story and a special way to help local animals in need.

Our newest Storywalk features Odd Dog, a heartwarming story about adoption, acceptance and finding a place to call home. The story is a perfect reminder of the difference a loving family can make in the life of a shelter pet.

The new Storywalk story was made possible through the generous support of the Sunshine Circle of Pleasant Valley United Methodist Church in Woodland. We are grateful for their support in helping us bring another wonderful story to our community.

In honor of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, the library will also be collecting donations for the Clearfield County SPCA throughout October.

Items on the SPCA's wish list include:

• Purina dry and canned kitten food
• Dry puppy food
• Non-clumping cat litter
• Trash bags
• Laundry detergent
• Copy paper
• Paper towels
• Dog and cat treats
• Towels and blankets
• Pet toys and Kong toys
• Chewy gift cards
• Walmart and Amazon gift cards
  
  

Monetary donations are also greatly appreciated and can help the SPCA with expenses such as utility costs.
Stop by the StoryWalk to enjoy Odd Dog, then consider bringing a donation to the library to help our furry friends at the Clearfield County SPCA.
​
And if you've been thinking about adding a new member to your family, October is a wonderful time to see the dogs, cats and other animals waiting for their own place to call home.
​
Together, we can make a difference for animals in our community, one story, one donation and one adoption at a time.
