When visiting Firetower Animal Clinic in Winterville, pet lovers will likely find themselves drawn to some special magnets, which are not only decorative but also benefit an animal rescue organization.

The whimsical magnets stand out because of their bright colors and various animal shapes, including turtles, seahorses and fish. But the decorative pieces are also noteworthy because they’re made from recycled drink cans.

Winterville resident Brittany Dail, who has been an active volunteer with the North Carolina Chapter of the Mid Atlantic Great Dane Rescue League since 2008, is part of a group of volunteers who have been making the magnets since September of 2010.
