Oooh, thank you both! The family has worked some with rescue groups and some on our own (we're right on the edge of the county and people dump animals out here, this is why we have 3 dogs and a cat). One of the shelters here is a high-kill group but I think it would do us both in to be out there and know that most of the animals weren't going to make it out of there no matter what she did; to try in vain to get some of them adopted, as much as it might be needed. That group is actually having a meeting this week at my church to get volunteers.
The Girl Scout Gold Award project rules require that she work at least 50 hours (it can include planning) on it. It has to be a true project, not just working at a shelter for 50 hours. She doesn't want to do some project that really isn't going to help anyone, like painting the shelter inside (not that the Gold Award Committee would accept that); she truly wants to make a difference!
BTW, both box turtles escaped last night after several breakout attempts. They're somewhere in the yard and I say let 'em go...son can find something less time-consuming (but no snakes!) for his Reptiles badge!
