The problem of pet overpopulation belongs to the community as a whole, and the Randolph County Humane Society urgently needs members of our community to step up to help save the lives of the defenseless animals that have found their way to our shelter. The quality of life for the pets in our care increases in direct proportion to the number of people that volunteer to care for them. Without our volunteers, the animals would not be taken out for walks, bathed, or just socialized in general. To say the shelter could not exist without this basic kindness of people just like you is an understatement and we need you now more than ever. Even if you are only available for a couple of hours once every other month, according to Humane Society of the United States, you’ll get back so much more than you give:
· Be part of the solution. You’ll join a network of hundreds of thousands of people working to make the world safe and more humane for all living creatures. You’ll make the jobs of everyone working for animals a little easier by lending a hand and spreading the message of responsible pet ownership.
· Get warm fuzzies. You’ll never find a more grateful and accepting comrade than an animal you have comforted. Who can’t use another loyal support in life?
· Keep good company. You’ll make lots of new friends—and not just the four-legged kind. Working side by side with people who share similar interests can forge lifelong friendships.
· Meet the new you. You’ll discover skills you never knew you had, and you may be surprised at what you’re capable of achieving.
· Gain a new career. You’ll learn things that may lead you to the career—or career change—of your dreams. Employers and college admissions officers look favorably on time spent in volunteer service.
· Enjoy a wagging tail, a purr, and a smile. Didn’t someone once say that the best things in life are free?
