We here at West Bend News & Print are always looking for Good News stories that help tell the story of good will toward our fellow humans… and in this case, their furry counterparts. Kinlee Sherry has a heart of gold and her love of our furry companions is evident when she reaches out to the community for help to assist a fellow peer complete his Eagle Scout project for the local Dog Kennel in Paulding, Ohio. Here, we will let her tell it…
“Hi my name is Kinlee Sherry and I’m 11 years old.
“I love helping people or animals in need, so I did all I could for the dog kennel.
“A few months ago I came home from school and I said, “I want to raise money for the dog kennel.” I made homemade dog treats to sell and donated the money to kennel towards their vet fund. That time I raised $374 in donations.
“Once we heard about Hunter Couts Eagle Scout project for new flooring at the kennel we got to work. I made a lot of homemade dog treats, dog cake pops, hand painted canvases, and put together some dog items that were sold to raise money.
“We knew that the money we would raise would help a lot of dogs. This time we ended up with $1,560 to donate to the kennel. I appreciate everyone who helped me not only reach but exceed my goal.”
If you are not busy July 23, 2022, stop out at the Paulding Eagles for an event Hunter and his mom are holding to benefit the kennel. The event is from 3-7pm. There will be food, raffles, and more.
