Troop learns from vet at animal sanctuary

FALLBROOK – On May 11, the Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary welcomed girls from Girl Scout Troop 2858 to its facilities. Janet Lucore, its director, gave the troop a tour to teach the girls about animal rescue and the tireless work involved.

Dr. Kathy Earle, a local veterinarian, taught the girls who want to be veterinarians one day about what veterinarians do and how they can help animals. They looked at x-rays, bone samples, discussed diseases and procedures, and also learned what they need to do to be on the path for veterinary school.

The troop learned much about all of the hard work done by volunteers at the Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary and the devotion it takes to care for the health and welfare of pets by veterinarians like Dr. Earle. They were truly motivated to learn about how to help the animals that were being cared for (over 100 cats and dogs needing homes).

It was a day the girls of Troop 2858 will always remember as learning how to make a difference in the lives of animals.
