You Are So Needed - Volunteer at the Human Society

During the month of June, Diane Ferguson and Janet Hohenberger are going to spend a day volunteering at the Humane Society / SPCA of Sumter County. 

 

Duties include: walking the dogs, cleaning up after them and brushing the dogs and cats.

• Would you please save your newspapers for us? They are needed at the shelter. I can pick them up or you can drop them off at my house.
• Towels and blankets are assets to the sheltered animals.
• Please remember the humane Society/SPCA of Sumter County is a no kill shelter. A group of volunteers from the RDOG3 would be appreciated.
• We can organize car pooling. More information and a date later.
