children look forward to the presents they’ll receive for their birthday.
Ten-year-old Ainsleigh Jensen believes so much in the importance of

mother have gone to MACC together to visit the animals and volunteer. MACC
works with residents to create safe and healthy communities for people and
animals. They hosted their “I’m in the Doghouse” event on September 27.*
