Sailor Castellano, daughter of Judy and Michael Castellano, celebrated her eighth birthday with her friends. Instead of receiving gifts for herself, she asked her guests to bring food for the animals at the Griffin Pond Animal Shelter in South Abington Township. When Sailor adopted her pet, Brutus, from the shelter in February 2010 and realized that the shelter had many animals without homes, she decided to help.
