Sample Body Paragraph 1
Our town needs the Paws and Purrs animal shelter. The
facility takes care of injured wild animals as well as giving homes to stray cats and dogs. Keeping the shelter open is important for our community. According to Dr. Moore,
a local veterinarian, “The shelter takes care of more than 500 animals a year. Since there is no other shelter in the area, without the
Paws and Purrs shelter
these animals would likely be
destroyed.”

Sample Body Paragraph 2
I realize some people say that there are more important things to donate their money to
. It's true there are many good causes worthy of support, such as the Friends of the Library
and
the Jefferson Area Food
Bank.
However, the
way
a community
cares for its most helpless
residents, animals as well as people,
tells what that community is like.
By raising
money to help care for animals that have been abandoned, or are wild and injured, we show that we are a caring community
.
