Make Snuffle Mat for dogs in animal shelters
This is the March 2023 FAVE (Families Active in Volunteer Enrichment) project
MISSION: To make snuffle mats to donate to various animal organizations sheltering animals in Los Angeles county. Snuffle mats are a fabulous way to let dogs sniff, helping them maintain their keen sense of scent! Snuffle mats and scent games indoors are perfect for shelter dogs. Scent games are mentally stimulating for dogs and keep their superpower (their nose) in top form. Plus, it’s fun!
