I have been a volunteer at Crawford County Humane Society for two months now. And after visiting other shelters, including no-kill ones, I am incredibly impressed by CCHS for various reasons. The director, Debbie Dix, strives daily to establish the shelter as no-kill. When I have thought dogs were beyond saving, she stayed with them until she nursed them back to health. Also, other volunteers spend time with the animals, not only walking them but petting and playing with them. Animals that come in frightened and withdrawn are expressive and playful within a week because of the time the staff spends with them. Because the shelter takes in more animals than it can accommodate, on a monthly or bi-monthly schedule the staff takes animals to rescue groups that will give them better chances of getting adopted.
