My Nonprofit Reviews

As a volunteer at HSMC I haven't been able to spend as much time as I planned, I am also involved with Florida Boxer Rescue, we deal with many surrendered, neglected and abused dogs, rehabilitating them in foster homes and placing with their new, forever homes. This, in essence, is exactly what HSMC does. Animals are surrendered to the shelter where they are evaluated by the veterinarian, provided necessary treatment, medication as well as spayed and neutered. The staff is incredible with the dogs, it is evidenced by the bond staff and dogs have while at the shelter. The volunteers know each dog, provide affection, walks, play and kindness - again, the dogs bond to staff and volunteers until they find their new home. Although it is stressful for an animal to adjust to kennel/shelter life, HSMC strives to make their stay as trauma free and routines as possible. The shelter is a safe landing place, and a sense of security some of these dogs have never had. Next week I am planning to be at the shelter at least for a couple days, to walk dogs. Their walks are a highlight in their day, they all watch us coming down the kennel rows with enthusiasm and happiness. I am honored to be able to be a small part of the endless job HSMC does. These people do so much for unwanted animals.
