SAGINAW - The Saginaw Valley State University softball team paid a visit to a local animal shelter, the Amazing Grace Animal Rescue.

The ladies volunteered their time by cleaning up the animal pens, walking and cleaning up after dogs and giving the animals some much-needed love and attention.  

The Amazing Grace Animal Rescue is a No Kill, all breed dog and cat rescue that is located in Saginaw, Michigan.  SVSU Head Softball Coach Todd Buckingham talked about the team's opportunity to lend their hand in the community...

"The chance to help with Amazing Grace was very valuable.  Not only did we spend time giving the hundreds of animals some TLC, but we were able to gain an appreciation for the hard work and sacrifice the great ladies at AG provide on a daily basis.  Some of our players were so moved by the experience that they plan on returning and volunteering their own time to help again.  This experience had as much of a positive impact on the lives of the animals there as it did the lives of our SVSU softball players."
