Giant thanks to the following volunteers:

- Carol Ingham for 16 visits in July to walk our smaller, adorable dogs.
- Brian Skelly walked dogs for over 24 hours in July. Brian handles our bigger babies, especially those in the back/yellow section.
- Our new sisterly dynamic duo, Jean Stone & Mary Porter. Jean posts our dogs on Craigslist, giving us another avenue to find adopters. She also promotes our volunteer program to anyone willing to listen!! Mary is doing an amazing job taking dog pics and posting them online.
- Terry & Brian Walsh, Judy Witt, Jane Pratt, Pat & John MacRonald, Nancy Call and Andrea & David Ferrare, thanks for participating at the Dog Days event on 7/30/11.
Volunteerism is the voice of the people put into action. These actions shape and mold the present into a future of which we can all be proud.
