The Welland & District Humane Society wants to say ‘THANK YOU!!’ to all our many dedicated and supportive volunteers. This note was published in The Tribune last week but we also wanted to reach those volunteers that do not recieve the newspaper to ensure our heartfelt gratitude reaches all of you…
“The world is hugged by the faithful arms of volunteers.” (Everett Mámor)
This quotation speaks volumes and at the Welland & District SPCA, animals in need are truly hugged by the faithful arms of many dedicated volunteers. National Volunteer Week, April 19 to 25, is the perfect opportunity to acknowledge their contributions which encompass a multitude of talents and efforts. Our volunteers selflessly give of their time and of themselves, and these gifts are invaluable.
From dog walking to fundraising, from penny rolling to bingo, from yard work to helping at events and in many other ways, the ultimate shared goal of helping animals is paramount. For this, our appreciation is beyond words.
To all our volunteers and on behalf of the Staff, Management and Board of Directors and most importantly on behalf of the animals, thank you for caring, thank you for giving and thank you for making a difference! |

Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her. I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid.
As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life. She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well.
Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes. I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one.
..I rescued a human today. |
