Caring & Sharing Activity as AWOL Yatala

Three of our Joey Scouts last Sunday visited the Animal Welfare League facility at Yatala. This was all part of their Caring and Sharing section of the Joey Scout Promise badge.

Upon arrival we were greeted by Kath and Lucy. We were treated to a session on how to look aftger and care for your animals.

 We were even treated to Lucy doing some cool tricks for us and teaching that all dogs are smart and will behave if treated correctly. Our three Joeys, Luke, Jacob & Tane were given the chance to hold hoops for Lucy to jump through.

After the tricks the joeys were allowed time to meet the other guests of the facility. Here they learnt all about how dogs and cats can adjust after having legs removed. These two dogs had legs removed due to accidents and other reasons. They were very playful and were a little wobbly on three legs. But still full of fun.

Next we all visited the cat area and got to spend some time with these animals. However, I think the Joey Scouts were more interested in playing with the cat toys than the cats :)

 Following on we get to look after kittens in a small area inside the office and check out the guinea pigs

Thanks to all at the AWOL Yatala and especially to Kath & Lucy for taking time out of their schedule to spend time teaching us about being better pet owners.
