TAMPA, Fla. â Caroline Uhorchak may be just 9 years old. But the Florida girl is already doing grown-up things for Tampa Bay area shelter animals.
With her trusty red wagon, Caroline recently collected hundreds of toys, food, clothes and cash donations in her neighborhood. She then brought the massive haul to the Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center in Tampa. I just like animals and I like shelters, and I like what shelters do for animals, Caroline said. It s really nice.
