Supporting Shelter: The Washington County Humane Society, Inc.
Pros: A friendly cooperative atmosphere
Cons: I don't have as much time to be there as I used to
When I got out of the corporate world, the first thing I did was sign up to be a WCHS volunteer. Going to work there is something I looked forward to. One, because it is fun to see the beautiful animals that are available. Some people dread going to a shelter because they fear it will be a sad visit. At WCHS, I believe the animals are treated well and are made as comfortable as possible. Granted they are not in the comfort of a home, but that day surely awaits them. Their environment is clean and their caretakers really do care about them.
Which brings me to the second reason I love WCHS, the staff. They work together. They are appreciative of the work of other staff members and volunteers. In the business world I came from, I observed disgruntled staff, where competition and in-fighting caused negative vibes that made work uncomfortable for everyone. I believe that at the shelter, there is a spirit of cooperation. They are working "for the animals" and not just for a boss and a paycheck.
I don't get there as often as I used to, because now my own business has grown and is taking most of my time. I miss them, the animals and the people. They made me feel that I was part of something big, a cause worth sacrifice.
Cudos to all of you there. Love Renae
