Hi, I am Jacob Wolynski. For my Bar Mitzvah project, I am raising money for animal shelters. My family got our 3 dogs from animal shelters and they are the most loyal and loving dogs. Too many dogs get left in their crates for so long that they begin to get sores, depression, loneliness, lack of medical care, and the list goes on. Our youngest dog was to be euthanized simply due to lack of funds and she has brought so much joy to our lives. One of the best feelings is when I come home from school and get attacked with love from my dogs. We are collecting money for shelters so that dogs and cats can live in a better environment while they are waiting for their forever home. If you are interested in getting a dog, consider adopting one that is waiting rather than one that was bred.
