Get To Know Dawn

How long have you been a part of ACS? Why did you get involved?

I have been a part of ACS since August of 2018. I became involved because of prior experience with the animal shelter where I lived before. That experience being very rewarding.

Are you a dog person or a cat person? Why?

I enjoy cats & have 3 of my own, all adopted, but I do think I am truly a dog person. Dogs bond more with their people, at least mine do. Maybe because as a child, I always had kitties, but never a dog of my own. Now I have 5!

What’s your favorite part of your job?

I enjoy exercising and training the dogs the most. Giving them the opportunity to release energy makes their time in sanctuary less stressful.

Tell us about your pets!

Sponsor a pet! Tell us about your best friend at ACS and why he/she deserves to be adopted!

Crawdad, he just needs a couch & love. He is 9 years old & likes squeaky toys & not too long walks. He may be up in years, but he deserves the remaining ones to be someone’s best buddy.

What do you think ACS needs donated the most?

Financial donations of course, but dedicated volunteers, too.
