Happy summer! I hope you have bee n enjoying  taking the dogs for strolls around th e field or hanging out on the cat porch with our felines. If you would like to see more volunteers spending time with our orphans, and are friendly and organized, we need you! Let us know you would like to serve as our new volunteer coordinator to conduct monthly one-hour orientations and schedule new volunteers with trainers.

This means leaving the shelter bright and early on a Monday morning at 6:30 and returning at 11 a.m.  

 
 
Debris pileWe still need a super volunteer to dismantle the burn stockade and remove the debris pile. If we can't find anyone, it will cost the shelter a lot of money to hire a contractor. 
 
If you can help with any of these projects, reply to this message or talk to Bethann.
 
Thanks for all that you do! See you around the shelter!
