We had so much fun visiting the students of Villanova Preparatory School as part of their Mental Health Awareness Week! Our staff brought two of our shelter pups, Bean and Gilbert, to the school during their lunch break to offer the students some much-needed puppy love. As you can see, the dogs didn't seem to mind the attention either! The students had a blast, and it was a great way to get Bean and Gilbert out of the shelter for the afternoon. Thank you Villanova Prep for having us!

Note: We put hearts over the students' faces to protect their privacy as minors. 

Above: Bean was quite the social butterfly during our visit with the students! He brought so much joy to everyone who visited with him. Way to go, Bean!
