Meet Lola. She's a beautiful puppy through the Dog's Life Program. Lola has been adopted by Mrs. Holmstrom's grade 1/2 class. Through the program Lola is able to visit the students and the students are able to name the puppy and then get updates on how the puppy is doing in her new foster home. Lola has visited the class on several occasions. The students are able to learn about her life, how to care for her and positive training methods. Each child in the class has a photo album that they can put updated pictures of Lola in. Mrs. Holmstrom talks about the program. "The whole experience has been really wonderful. It's a wonderful way for children to learn about empathy and kindness. The students are very excited about the program and look forward to all of Lola's visits." Here are a few comments from the grade 1/2 students: "When I see Lola she makes me feel excited" Georgia. C "I enjoy our adopt a puppy program because I love dogs." Madison "I like Lola because she is really cute!" Reagan "I like when we get to give her treats that are donated from the Tricks and Treats business." Zi-Anne "I feel happy when I pet her, she is so soft" Jaxten "I got to hold Lola and she is heavy, but so soft." Niko "I like that we got to name her. We voted on names that we chose in our table groups. Then we had a final vote. Lola was the winner!" Macy "Lola changed my feelings about dogs. Now I love dogs!" Georgia Grace A special thank you to Lola and Chris Madison from a Dog's Life.
