Dog plays with tug toy that students made from old shirts at Penn State Mont Alto

Tug Toy Tuesdays keep T-shirts out of landfills and enrich the lives of sheltered animals

Three students sit at a table in the Wiestling Student Center. One works diligently at shredding T-shirts and placing the colorful strips in a bin while the others braid the strips and tie them into knots.

Donna Rhodes, Penn State Mont Alto student activities coordinator, joins the students in their efforts. They are creating tug toys—a project that not only keeps t-shirts out of landfills but will also enrich the lives of canines in local shelters who are often scared and alone.
