We’re so excited to kick off our new Volunteer Spotlight series with Leon, our October Volunteer Spotlight! 🐾
What inspired you to start volunteering with PBHSN?
“Happiness for me is working with my canine friends and companions. What keeps me going is not only the dogs, but also the staff and my fellow volunteers. I consider this my PBHSN family.”
What has been your favorite or most memorable moment as a volunteer so far?
“First and foremost, it’s the dogs like Zelda, Toby, Presley and countless others. I also cherish the interaction with the volunteers and staff, learning from them, and sharing so many happy and not-so-happy moments together.”
When did you start volunteering with PBHSN?
“It goes back almost five years ago to the day, right after I moved to Florida. I met Kim, who was working as a part-time development consultant on major donor projects and grants, when she sat at our table for breakfast. After chatting, she gave me a tour of PBHSN, and I’ve been volunteering ever since. I finally had time after all the years to spend time volunteering.”
We are so grateful for Leon’s nearly five years of dedication, heart and love for our animals. Thank you for being such an important part of the PBHSN family, Leon! 💛
