Meet Diana...she's one of our amazing angel volunteers. She has been helping to save lives here at the shelter for a long time...about 6 years!! She helps in the shelter when we need her, she collects all of our penny cans and rolls the money to help low income families get their cats spayed or neutered and most importantly, she is a foster parent to animals who need some extra special love and care. Over the years, Diana has fostered countless cats and kittens, dogs and their puppies and even animals who are recuperating from very serious surgeries. Just in the last year, she has helped a dog named Brooke who had to have her leg amputated and right now, she is fostering a dog named Ziggy who had been hit by a car and had to have surgery on his leg.
I know you can tell that we think Diana is incredible. And now...other people know it too. Last week was Volunteer Appreciation Week, and Diana was one of only 8 people to recieve the United Way Outstanding Volunteer Award for 2011. She deserved it. And we're proud and grateful that she has picked us.
Without her...our shelter would not be the same. She is an integral part of our team. And we love her.
Diana...2 Paws Up for being the amazing, big-hearted lady that you are! Thank You for all that you do.
