Not only do we have an amazing new shelter but Helping Hands also has tons of great volunteers that come in to lend us a hand every day. This past weekend was the annual Lawn and Garden Show at the Expo Center in town and we were very fortunate to be a part of it. All of our events that happen offsite are all ran by volunteers and bring us a lot of attention so more people know about our shelter. Even if you’re a family who cannot take in an animal at this time volunteering is a great way to interact with the animals and still help them out. To be honest we do end up getting some volunteers to adopt the animals they play with but even if you’re not looking to adopt you get to play with many animals daily and what could be better than that?  The Lawn and Garden show, like many other shows and events we do, got some animals adopted and the people who help out have a blast. I typically work when we have events like this but luckily I was off work for this one so I stopped by and helped them out as well. I was very happy to see that people loved hearing about our new shelter and loved visiting with all the dogs and cats we had with us. We even got a few of them adopted while at the show. Whether you’re looking to adopt a new member into your family or just wanting to lend a helping hand, come check out the new shelter and see some of our amazing animals we have available for adoption.

This is two of our wonderful volunteers at the Lawn and Garden show with Penny! Penny is a coonhound puppy and as you can see she is super adorable. Come check her out at the new shelter and also see if volunteering is something that interest you!!
