Help Our Animals

What’s special about Luna is that she is not chocolate, black, or yellow like other Labs; her hair is silver. But, there is a cost for having silver hair.

They have to work really hard for two hours. Then they have to do games every other day. That is hard!          We won over Montana Western by a lot. Then we advanced to the Sweet 16. Next, we had to play Lyon. Our team won that one too! That one was a close one. Then we got matched with Clarke in the Elite 8. They were a lot taller than we were. That comes as an advantage. But our girls are VERY fast and smart and always play their hardest! We kept winning and winning and went to the
