December 7-10, the pre-vet small animal class washed approximately 15 dogs.  They are learning hands-on techniques like trimming nails, washing and grooming the dogs.

The dogs were volunteered by teachers and community members and were kept in the greenhouse/horticulture area during the day.

Blue, Mrs. Rebetsky’s dog, enjoyed his spa treatment; although, he didn’t like waiting for his bath.  “I think he barked a lot, but he settled down after a while,” said Mrs. Rebetsky.

“It was fun getting to know the dog’s different personalities,” said Ashley Abuelhawa, a student in the pre-vet class who took part in washing the dogs.

The pre-vet class accepts donations for the dog-washing. After all the donations are collected, the class will make a donation to Frederick County Animal Control.
