ANY COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES?
I have been a volunteer for the humane Society since I got here. I volunteer at the animal shelter because I enjoy walking the dogs.

For me it’s relaxing and I always leave there with a smile on my face. The dogs show their appreciation by their excitement and anticipation with who is going to get walked each day
