Weekly Volunteer Update

Happy Wednesday, Volunteers and Fosters!

It appears we've reached the cusp of kitten season. The office is taking a deep breath and getting ready- if you hear anything, that’s just us going “KITTENS!!!” Dog volunteers/fosters, don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten you, but this week we've gone to the cats!

Thank you very much to Volunteers Danny and Kathy who made the cat room habitable: we have cats (adults for now) there and have opportunities for two cat cuddlers a day to come in and socialize. If you’re interested, shoot me a note (lauren@hopalong.org) and we’ll get you in here! We've also got some spaces available at our PetCo site in Emeryville: please let me know if you’re interested in socializing/cleaning there.

We had a fabulous week of adoptions: Barley, the last spaniel puppy and PB, Miles, JoJo and others!

This week we welcomed six new volunteers who left orientation ready to start tabling at events, fundraising, handling dogs and more. Say “Hi!” them when you see them around!

We have lots of other opportunities available on the blog- don’t forget to check there if you’re looking for a way to help out. And thank you for your continuing willingness to help make our new database work- it’s really coming along!
