MADISON, NJ – Not many teenagers would willingly, even happily, give up the last weekend of summer for a volunteer project, but Kayla Marks is not most teenagers. Kayla is spending this weekend manning a table in front of different local pet shops to raise money to fight something she finds abhorrent: puppy mills.
Kayla, who will be a junior this fall at Kent Place, had a table set up Friday and Saturday in front of the Madison Pet Shop.
She is selling homemade “Puppy Ciao” dog treats for $1 a bag, and homemade people cookies – chocolate chip, sugar, and snickerdoodles – for $2 per bag. Tons of Toys in Madison donated a large, plush stuffed dog, and the girls sold raffle tickets to win it. Faux Paws is providing Saturday’s raffle prize. All proceeds from Kayla’s table go to the Humane Society and St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in Madison.
