KIDS

GIVING BACK

written by: Erin Coloer | photography by: Janie Schmidt

ivian Coloer’s heart has always
Vbeen full of love. She has
always loved animals, being outdoors
playing and moving. But after her
family went on a long search to find
a new furry family member, she
discovered the importance of second
chances and what the many rescues
in our area do. This led her to raising
over 100 dollars for Chance, a former
adoptable dog from Dog-Harmony
who needed multiple surgeries
before he could be adopted.
“Seeing kids like Vivian step up
is incredible,” said Nancy Bown,
Founder of Dog-Harmony. “Her hard
work and generosity is exactly what
we need more of in the world today.”
When she was three years old,
Vivian’s family dog, Sebastian, passed
away, and while they did not plan on
adding a new four-legged member to
their family right away, Vivian missed
him so much that they started looking
at all local shelters and rescues.
