Happy Endings
-
Tory (formally known as Frito)
I am so happy that Jennifer had asked me to foster Tory for the shelter. At first I thought it was only going to be for a few weeks but it was for a month. I was concerned for what if my dog, Duncan and Tory got along, well know I have Tory and Duncan and I couldn’t be happier. She makes you laugh all day long. Always jumping into shopping bags and running around the apartment with Duncan, he chases her and she chases him. Tory is such a love bug, always waiting for me at the door with Duncan when I get home. She has a purr that is so loud that I cannot fall asleep till she stops J Tory loves to cuddle with me and even Duncan. She still has not grown into her tail! Alexis

Kali (formerly Duchess)
Hi Jennifer… I just wanted to send you a picture of Kali (formerly Duchess). We are just loving her so much! It didn't take her too long to finally start venturing out of the bedroom and into the rest of the house. She loves to be with people…if you sit on the couch, your lap becomes prime real estate. My husband's lap seems to be her lap of choice. We've also discovered that she loves to chase the laser. She actually sits in a particular spot at night time and waits for it. Quite funny. Thanks again!! Patty Marshall

Skiddie
Hello! It's Tucker Curtis; I adopted Skiddie a few yearsago, and she is doing great! She has really come out of her shell, and is getting more social every day. I love it when she sleeps with me, and her purr is so cute; it's like motor! We are like best friends now.

Volunteer Guidelines
WHERE DO I PARK?
Shelter parking is allowed outside the fence due to limited space and as a safety precaution. If you are being dropped off, make sure your driver drops you off outside the fenced-in area as well.
HOW SHOULD I DRESS?
We ask volunteers to come “dressed for success.” To protect your skin from amorous kitties, we recommend t-shirts (no bare midriffs), long sleeved shirts, jeans, and closed toe shoes. Old clothes are fine since you will be working with the animals or on the grounds; so getting a tad dirty should be expected.
CAN I BRING MY PET?
Please leave your pets at home! The presence of an “outside” dog or cat at the Shelter can be very stressful to the shelter animals, an of course, to your pet. Also, leaving your pet in your car is strictly forbidden. In fact, during certain times of the year, leaving your pet in a car can be considered animal cruelty.
CAN I COME EARLIER/LATER THAN SCHEDULED?
Of course you can; we just ask that the times in question be within reason. In other words, the current structure of the shelter is small (very small), and not knowing how many volunteers may or may not be in the shelter on a given day, or if they will be volunteering inside or outside the shelter, please be respectful of other volunteers and staff members when making these decisions.
CAN I BRING MY FRIENDS/CHILD?
You can bring your friend(s) if they have completed an application and the orientation. The inside of the shelter is small, and therefore, can only accommodate a limited amount of people at one time. So we ask that you remember this if you plan to bring someone to the shelter. For safety purposes only children 14-17yo are allowed to volunteer (unless accompanied by an approved group leader). NOTE: Volunteers UNDER 18yo must complete the application and have it signed by a parent, at which time, they must complete orientation.
CAN I SMOKE?
No smoking, drugs, alcohol, or weapons are allowed on Shelter grounds. Theft or willful destruction of property/grounds may result in immediate dismissal, and possible prosecution.
