Featured Volunteer - April 2013
Gary Wraa. - PSPCA volunteer
What motivated you to volunteer at Placer SPCA?
I've always had animals while growing up, and throughout my married life. I met a former PSPCA staff member, who explained these programs; I liked the vision of the center and the opportunities available to the volunteers.
What do you like best about volunteering?
I like working with the animals and other dedicated volunteers, and making friends along the way. I always enjoy meeting the public and spreading the vision of the PSPCA. When the animals find forever homes, it gives you a great feeling of accomplishment.
What do you like best about the Placer SPCA?
I have a great respect for the dedication of the PSPCA Staff and their dedication to the animals. I truly feel privileged being part of this team.
How many animals do you have at home?
We have always had two dogs at home until I lost my Aussie Cattle Dog to old age. Our current Aussi Shepherd wants to be an only child, so we are down to one dog.
All of our dogs/cats with the exception of two, throughout the years have been from rescue groups.
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.
