Arvin

Employees from North Shore Bank handed out free dog toys and treats at Dog Days at Drexel last weekend in Oak Creek. Heather Somers, Oak Creek branch manager, said the free gifts were a big surprise to attendees.

“We loved spreading kindness and petting the dogs,” she added. “It was so much fun!”

Bartleby

The branch used $300 from its Random Acts of Kindness fund to donate to Rescue Gang, a nonprofit pup adoption agency. The donation will put $150 toward the adoption fees for two dogs that have been at the shelter the longest—Arvin and Bartleby. You can see both dogs and all of Rescue Gang’s adoptable dogs on their website.
