I've been involved with the shelter for many years now; first just as a donator. Then, we adopted our wonderful boxer mix puppy from the shelter in 2005. From there, I became more active. . .and took over the golf outing fundraiser in 2008. . .and became a board member in 2009! Everyone at the shelter is very passionate about the animals, and do what is necessary to care for them until they are placed in a forever home. It's serious business--they want to ensure that the animal is placed in the best matched home for it! And in the end, that's what all of us involved with the shelter want. . .the animals to have the love and security of a family and home :)
