Future Leaders: 8-Year-Old Has A Passion For Helping Rescue Dogs

NORTH CENTRAL CT — A north central Connecticut eight-year-old is on a mission to help as many rescue dogs at she can.

Patch and T-Mobile are teaming up to showcase future leaders in Connecticut and across the nation.

Meet Coventry resident Finley Ballok, who is selling dog treats to benefit the canines in need at Strong Paws Rescue. The treats are made by Rescue Treats.

"These treats are all natural and the dogs love them," Finley said.

They cost $10 per bag and can be ordered via Finley's family at Dogpoundfitct@gmail.com.

All orders must be paid for in advance and all orders are due by March 31. Those placing orders will be contacted as soon as the treats come in (probably in a couple of weeks).

"I love dogs more than anything and your support means the world to me," Finley said.

Finley hinted there will be more dog treat fundraisers in the future.
