The 2nd grade Lafayette Girl Scout Troop 30659 chose to donate part of the profits the troop made from selling Girl Scout Cookies this year to Tony La Russa's Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF).
On May 13, 2010, the Girl Scouts visited ARF to deliver their donation. During the visit they met Zev, one of ARF's Therapy Dogs. Therapy dogs are qualified pets that make visits each month as part of ARF's Pet Hug Pack team to hospitals, rehab centers, schools and adult day care facilities throughout Contra Costa County. The pets, like Zev, provide unconditional love to the people they visit; and provided this to the scouts during the visit. They carried out the part of the Girl Scout Law that day to "make the world a better place."
