Stepping Stones Museum for Children Mutt-i-grees® Program
The Mutt-i-grees Curriculum is a collaboration of North Shore Animal League America and Yale University. The program has two goals: enhancing children’s resilience and social and emotional competence and promoting awareness of the desirability of shelter pets, referred to as Mutt-i-grees. The program reaches children beginning at a young age and provides opportunities for them to learn to care about themselves, other people, and animals.
Lucky Dog Refuge has been invited to participate in the Mutt-i-grees story time at Stepping Stones Museum for Children, where Pre-K children listen to a story about dogs and then learn the safest way to approach and pet a friendly dog, to help the children build social-emotional skills and become caring, calm and confident citizens. |

Toys for David's Treasure Chest at Stamford Hospital
Lucky Dog Refuge adopter Maria Kelley collects toys year round for the kids at Stamford Hospital. She understands first hand the impact these toys have, as her own daughter once spent months in the hospital as a young child when she was fighting a life threatening infection. With her own family healed and healthy, Maria wants to make sure other kids have access to toys while in the hospital like her daughter did.
The Kelley Family adopted Graham (pictured) from Lucky Dog Refuge in October 2021. |
