Meet Kerry, a Volunteer with POOPS – Pets of Older Persons, sharing their story as part of our ‘Share Your Story’ Series.
Finding the Perfect Fit
“I was inspired by the very name ‘volunteer’! The ability to choose what I wanted to do and how much time I could give each week was very appealing. Helping others in need while nearing retirement and being an animal lover made POOPS the perfect fit for me. Dog walking, pet transportation, meeting clients, and working with a great team has been incredibly satisfying over the last 5 years.”
Advice for Aspiring Volunteers
“I recommend anyone interested in volunteering to consider all options and start slowly to ensure it’s the right fit. Reliable, caring, and good communicators make the best volunteers.”
