Saachi Bedi and Allie Dignan recently completed their silver award. Both West Windsor residents are 14 and members of Troop 70216. Bedi will attend High School North in the fall and Dignan heads to Notre Dame High School.
The intent of the project was to alert the community about SAVE, the animal shelter in Princeton — and to make it more visitor-friendly. They held two events where children made toys for the animals including roll and scratch toys for cats and decorated dog leashes and collars. Information was distributed to promote animal adoption. Dog and cat treats were baked to feed the animals in the shelter. The audience was also invited to meet a resident animal.
Bedi and Dignan decorated the front of the building with stones. With the money earned from the events and bake sales the girls were able to purchase agility training equipment for the dogs at SAVE. Their goal was to provide more playful dogs for adoption.
