Talent does not wait for the number of years. Generosity and sensitivity to the animal cause either. That’s what proves Jennifer Slater, a 10-year-old Canadian who found a playful way to help animals. A story told by CKPG Today.
This girl lives Prince George, British Columbia (Western Canada). She regularly takes part in extracurricular activities, and it was during one of these that she took part in a dog toy making workshop.
During this session, the toys that Jennifer and his comrades had made were all donated to the local shelter Luvs Northern Animal Rescue.
Seduced by this project, she decided to pursue it alone, at home. Since then, she has continued to make these dog toys from tennis balls, and then sell them for 5 Canadian dollars (a little less than 4 euros) each. The money she collects through these sales is entirely donated to Luvs Northern Animal Rescue.
“That says a lot about how she was raised”
Andrea Sowers, founder of the association, says she admires and is touched by the child’s initiative. ” I couldn’t believe this young girl had so much kindness to give. It’s so impressive and it says a lot about how she was raised “, she confides to CKPG Today.
« This money […] will save so many lives, she continues. Every $15 can vaccinate an animal and protect it against many diseases ».

Both of them also take part in charity events, including the one organized on August 13 for the Family Cycling Festival and during which they share a stand with Luvs Northern Animal Rescue.
