She will also be one of our judges!
Amelie Anastasia, 12, resident of Petoskey, is known for her books about animals and her philanthropic work and just released her fourth book, Shelter Dogs, inspired by the stories of real rescue dogs from across the country, from which 100% of the profits from book sales go to animal shelters. Amelie has already raised over $10,000 for our local Little Traverse Bay Humane Society in Harbor Springs, Michigan with the Shelter Dogs project, and we are using the book to fundraise for shelters in communities across the country.
