Featured Volunteer - January 2012
Linda Vanderpoel
What motivated you to volunteer at Placer SPCA?
When I retired, I needed something to do to give back, something that's rewarding for me. I grew up on a farm, and I wanted to work with animals.
What do you like best about volunteering?
I like the interaction with the animals, especially cats. I work in the office, and enjoy the Pet Mobile because we take the cats out of their cages. I also enjoy working with SNAP (Spay Neuter Assistance Program), as I also volunteered with a spay and neuter program when I lived in San Jose. Feral cats are a problem wherever you go.
What do you like best about the Placer SPCA?
I enjoy the people I have met, and volunteering at the Thrift Store. Placer SPCA does a great job with the animals.
How many animals do you have at home?
I have four. My Persian, Sunshine, and my Lhasa Apso, Lucky, were adopted. I adopted a kitten with a crooked nose named Gracie from the Placer SPCA. I also have a Cockatiel named Trouble who found me.
All of our volunteers are special! Once a month, an active volunteer is randomly selected to feature on this page. It could be you! Sign up for a Volunteer Orientation and join our team. |
