Advocating for the health and management of stray dogs
Hannah: 2024 Gold Award Girl Scout
Hannah is currently attending Monterey Peninsula College, where she is majoring in Marine Biology and continuing her volleyball career. She plans to complete her education in Florida and eventually earn her private pilot license. A Girl Scout since she was a Daisy at age five, Hannah cherishes her experiences and encourages others to join. She remains committed to making a positive impact in her community.
Hannah's annual visits to Puerto Rico made her aware of the growing stray dog population and the health risks it poses. Concerned for both the animals and the community, she educated the public about the diseases spread by stray dogs and their impact on human health.
Hannah gathered signatures from across the island to support her petition for creating an animal control program. She presented her proposal to the Puerto Rican government, advocating for funds to be directed toward the health and management of stray dogs.
Her efforts continue to promote a healthier environment for both humans and animals in Puerto Rico.
