A No-Kill Shelter
| The Marion County Humane Society is so excited about our new partnership with the Vet Tech program from the Pierpont Community & Technical College. Our board member, Glenda Julian spearheaded this idea and contacted Anna Romano, Veterinary Technology Program Director. Anna was happy to help! Here's what Glenda has to say about the program "We are unrolling a volunteer program with the 2 year students enrolled in the vet tech program. In conjunction with our Interim Manager, Fran Warner, the volunteer program will help with the daily duties at the shelter and create more workers to get some things done that the staff would never have time to do. We are taking one step at a time and building a volunteer program that will complement the needs of the shelter." |
| June 2009. Our heads are spinning with all the activity happening around here! Take a look at what we're doing! Wal-Mart has been incredibly generous with their sidewalk - allowing us to host off-site adoption days there. We've found some great forever homes for our animals, and we've made some fantastic new friends who visited during these events! This weekend, Purina hosted us at another Wal-Mart adoption day! They gave away prizes, and we had an all-around great day! The word is out that we've linked up with the Vet- Tech program at Pierpont Community and Technical College. Youth groups are inviting us to speak at their meetings and events, and some groups are visiting the shelter to volunteer and to learn more about our animals and our programs! We love having kids around! We had a fun couple of days at the Riverfest in Worthington Park. Nancy Riggs hosted our first pet pageant, and many volunteers helped us transport animals and escort them on stage! Members and volunteers are busy preparing for our upcoming Yard Sale! We're hoping this fundraiser will pump some always-needed funds into our organization - momentum is strong and these funds will be put to good use in helping all the homeless animals we can! Just to complicate things a little more - we're sprucing up the shelter with new room arrangements, fresh paint and new tile!! Eric Mancerella of Pittsburgh Paint donated supplies, and Rocky Manchin of Wholesale Carpet donated tiles. Lots of folks donated their time and hard labor! Thanks to all our wonderful volunteers! |
