Keeping Furry Friends Fed, Warm, & Safe

Ward Melville High School senior Anna Lubitz has a true passion for animals – a notion that is behind her recent initiative to help out pets living in shelters. Anna, who aspires to become a vet after graduation, created Saving Shelter Animals with Volunteer Efforts (SSAVE) at the school last year and has continued her efforts this school year.

“I have noticed a great turnout this year,” stated Anna, who has five birds, two dogs, and a cat at home. “I have a real love for animals and wanted to do anything I can to help out the less-fortunate ones around.”

Anna’s SSAVE drive is running through December 18th and calls for donations for unopened food, bowls, blankets, beds, and crates. All donations will be given to the local Save-A-Pet organization and the SPCA.

In addition to her volunteer work with SSAVE, Anna is a member of the school’s student government, Tri-M Music Honor Society, National Honor Society, InSTAR, the DVD yearbook staff, and an active student-musician.
