While many people are taking the day off to relax and unwind, there’s no break for those at the animal shelter. Behind the scenes, an incredible team works tirelessly to make sure every animal is cared for, loved, and given the attention they deserve. On this Labor Day, we want to shine a spotlight on the amazing staff and volunteers who show up every single day with dedication and heart.

From the moment the shelter opens its doors, the work begins. Kennels need cleaning, food needs to be prepared, and the animals need exercise, affection, and companionship. The team—whether staff or volunteers—does it all with a smile, never hesitating to go the extra mile. They walk the pups, cuddle the cats, and ensure that each animal feels safe and loved. It’s a job that requires more than just effort; it requires compassion, empathy, and a true passion for making a difference in the lives of these animals.
While many people are enjoying the day off, the shelter’s work doesn’t stop. Every animal deserves attention, and that’s why our dedicated team is here—day in and day out. It’s not just about cleaning and feeding; it’s about giving these animals a sense of hope, love, and belonging.
If you happen to be out and about this holiday, we would love for you to stop by and say hello. Our doors are always open, and the animals would be thrilled to have some extra company. Whether it’s a quick wave, a friendly hello, or spending a few moments petting a dog or cat, your visit means the world to them.
