Esha is a VOLUNTEER FAVORITE pet! Here's what our dog socializer, Stephanie, has to say about her!

It’s a beautiful day, perfect for snapping a photo of our wonderful dog walking volunteer, Stephanie, and her Volunteer Favorite dog, Esha! Esha is a spry 9-year-old lady who has been with CCHS for a little over three months. She LOVES spending time with Stephanie both at the shelter and at nearby parks. Here’s what Stephanie has to say about her:

"Esha, or Lady E as I like to call her, is an amazing doggo! I never would have guessed her age. She's a sassy senior with plenty to offer anyone lucky enough to adopt her. She's always happy to see me and will snuggle once she gets her wiggles out and realizes I won't stop trying. There's also a level of independence and confidence that I love. Every time I leave her, her eyes tell me she belongs in a home, and she absolutely deserves that kind of security in her senior years."

We love highlighting our volunteers and the animals that make their day! Thank you, Stephanie, for spending so much time with "Lady E" and all the other pups at CCHS. We appreciate you so much! ❤🐕
We are so grateful for all of our amazing volunteers and everything you do for the animals each and every day!
