Happy #InternationalDogDay, Kanassa! 🐾
Okay, okay... we know you’re not technically a dog... but since you and Remus are the only canids at Shepreth, you definitely deserve to celebrate today!

Last Saturday, we celebrated #ShareSavvy Saturday! We set up four #ShareSavvy stations with thought-provoking conversation starters, games, a question trail and a survey. Thank you to everyone for stopping by! We loved sharing how we can use the power of our phones to protect animals in the wild.

Keep being an awesome ambassador for wild snakes everywhere, out there doing the super important work of keeping pests in check and controlling the spread of disease. How cool is that?
