2007 Volunteer of the Year
Robyn Lowe is shown here
holding one of the many cats
that she helped during the year.
Robyn is a quiet efficient helper
who can take on any job
without being rattled.
Besides the normal shelter duties,
Robyn often comes in when
the shelter is closed to walk the dogs.
The dogs love her attention
and their trips to the dog park
help them to be fully
socialized with other dogs. |
