New York’s Staten Island. Recently, Chen Xi He, a talented 16-year-old artist and student at Staten Island Tech organized an art show at Clove Lake Nursing Home that raised an impressive $1,500 to support shelter animals of theAnimal Care Centers of NYCrescue agency. Chen, a member of Young Artists of Staten Island, made a big difference in her community by fusing her compassion and creativity. Chen’s kind donation is much appreciated by ACC and will be used to benefit the animals under our care. Paul from ACC comments.
Chen’s breathtaking artwork was on display at the art event, which honored both art and community. Chen’s generosity and commitment to the cause were demonstrated by the fact that all event earnings were given to the ACC of Staten Island.
Clove Lakes Nursing and Rehab Center, a fellow AmeriCorps RSVP Senior Services Volunteer Program member, also supported the art exhibit, underscoring the significance of community collaborations in effecting change.
Xi Chen His admirable actions show how young people may make a good impact on their communities. Through her compassion and artistic abilities, Chen has changed the lives of animals in shelters for the better and created a precedent for others to follow.
We would like to express our gratitude to Paul D. Sanders, Senior Administrator, Governmental & Community Affairs of ACC, for sharing that Animal Care Centers of NYC works with young people in a variety of ways, particularly through our Community Kids program. It is important to engage young people from Staten Island and New York. These programs, in addition to our Tommy Talks in fourth-grade classrooms throughout Staten Island, offer lifelong lessons on how to be responsible pet guardians, how to take care of your pets, and how to be an advocate for animal welfare in general.
Introducing Hermy
Introducing Hermy! Your heart will melt for this lovely 2-month-old mixed-breed puppy with the cutest face!
This little 5-pound beauty loves to curl up on your chest and give you warm, comforting cuddles. She especially adores the kids in her foster home, giggling with delight every time she sees them and longing to be snatched up for extra affection!
She is a sweet puppy that is curious about the bigger dogs in her foster home. She has been learning how to use a wee-wee pad and spends the entire night in a box with her littermates (with very few mishaps!).
If their hearts are prepared for her unending love, Hermy might fit into almost any family!
Her adoption price is $500, and she is presently being fostered on Staten Island.
