April 6, 2024 – On Saturday, members of the Operation Black Out dance troupe from Ball State University volunteered their time at a local animal rescue. The Animal Rescue Fund is a non-profit organization that helps shelter, treat, and socialize dogs and cats. The operation is founded on a web of community support, with volunteering and good-will donations at the center. ARF’s complex consists of Ollie’s Bed and Biscuits, The Catty House, an administrative building, Jeff’s House, and the Bark Park. They also maintain a thrift store in Yorktown and a spay and neuter clinic in Muncie on Bethel Ave. All in all, the efforts of the OBO volunteers aided the clean and healthy environment that the ARF culminates. The dancers helped pick up trash, remove dog waste, and clean the lawn of sticks. Their effort symbolizes the volunteer spirit that Shoot for Good showcases in our greater Muncie community. Special thanks to Doug White for his dedication to the mission of animal health and safety and the coordination of such events. Photos by Jason Doudt and Jessica Poiry
