To celebrate National Pet Month in May, Girl Scout Troop #13179 participated in partnership with Future Fashion Designers of Mooresville to make about 40 beds for the fur babies waiting for their forever home using leftover fabric scraps.

These beds will be donated to animal shelters in Mooresville and Lake Norman surrounding areas in hopes that it will make staying at local animal shelters a little more comfortable for the animals.

Sugar and Spice LKN Bakery and The Daily Grind of Mooresville hosted the event, allowing the Future Fashion Designer students to set up in the coffee shop to sew scraps of fabric together and the Girl Scout Troop #13179 ripped fabric to stuff them to make comfortable beds for the animals.
