Keystone Villa at Douglassvi­lle residents were in high spirits as the Kindness Tour organized by The House That Fur Built, visited the memory care neighborho­od recently.

President and founder Sarah McKillip, treasurer Nicole Hartman and the nonprofit’s mascot, Peggy Sue, a blind pitbull terrier, gifted over 40 residents with new super-soft plush animals.

Residents happily embraced their gently textured toy companions that also aid in stimulatin­g cognitive function and enhancing communicat­ion. Peggy Sue won hearts with her happy-go-lucky tail wag and affection.
