Why I Volunteer

When I lost my dog of 13 years, I felt lost.  I didn't know if I could have another dog again.  My heart felt like I was replacing him.  Then I volunteered.  I cried with the first couple of dogs but the organization was so kind.  Then the feeling of realizing how I was helping others, how I was making families happy, seeing the smiles on their face.  It was such an emotional healing and honor to my Sammy Girl.  Seven years later and I still volunteer, foster, do what I can.
