About the Author

I am originally from upper state New York. I graduated from John C. Birdlebough High School in Phoenix, New York, and attended Morrisville Agricultural and Technical College in Morrisville, New York. I grew up with dogs and have had dogs most of my adult life. I am presently volunteering at the Sumter County Humane Society in Florida and have volunteered at the Ark of Cleveland in Tennessee. I have been chosen as Volunteer of the Month at both Sumter County Humane Society and the Ark of Cleveland and have been written up in the local newspaper in Tennessee and on the Sumter County Humane Society website. Volunteering at a Humane Society is such a wonderful experience that it is hard to put into words what it means to me and all the special moments that I have had working there. They are a happy and sad place to work in. The happy part is giving the animals all the love I can when I’m there and getting attached to them. The happy/sad time is when they are adopted and they go to their “furever homes.” These animals just want to be loved and to find their furever homes where the love we give them will continue for the rest of their lives. There’s a write-up I found of “Lessons I’ve Learned from Dogs” that I try to live by and is reinforced while working at the Humane Society. They are (1) never stop playing; (2) wag more, bark less; (3) be loyal and faithful; (4) be quick to forgive; and (5) love unconditionally. Cats are far more independent than dogs, but they are also very affectionate and want that same love as well. Being a volunteer gives me a feeling of a sense of accomplishment that I have helped to make their lives better.
