All Paws On Deck

All Paws On Deck

By Nicholas Dinh | Western Key Club

All Paws on Deck was a service project developed by Western High School Key Club to create fun and enjoyable toys for our dogs along with other dogs to play with. This event focused on using at home materials such as bottles, socks, t-shirts, and tennis balls as a way to create DIY toys while at home. A video linked to the flyer that gave volunteers reference to the types of toys they could create for their furry friend. All of the submissions were due by August 31 at 11:59 PM.

Volunteers had a number of products they could of created. From tug a war shirt ropes, bottles filled with pop kernel, and even even tennis ball toys that dogs can chew on. Having this amount of variety make sure that dogs can choose from a catalog. All of these DIY products were doable and easy to follow to which made it ten times better.

For my experience, I personally loved this event since in the beginning if this year we got ourselves a dog. Never did I really have a passion at first but now knowing I can first hand see the joy, it fills me with so much glee seeing the light in her eyes. Luckily for those who don’t have a dog, they still can volunteer by donating these to the chosen dog shelter. Nonetheless, it was a happy day for everyone.
