Becca – A Homeward Hero in Facilities Dept.
“I really enjoy being part of the Facilities team,” says outstanding volunteer Becca, “Everyone is so nice and appreciative of what I do. I know it’s a really important job at Homeward Pet, and I don’t mind doing it. And of course, my other favorite part is seeing all the adorable animals.”
One of our most important volunteer roles – and our current biggest need – is in our Facilities Department. The Facilities team keeps our shelter clean, safe and stocked with everything we need to take care of our animals, staff, volunteers and visitors.
Becca volunteers in Facilities every Friday, with a smile and an upbeat attitude, “I make everything that the people coming in to adopt the animals see look and smell real pretty!” Becca’s been with us for a year and a half, cleaning, mopping, even taking the garbage out, because she wanted to do something totally different than her day job as a hair stylist. “I think it’s important to do things in your community and volunteering helps me feel fulfilled. Plus, I love animals. Helping animals that are down on their luck find their forever homes is an amazing thing.”
When she’s not working or volunteering, Becca loves being outside, “Kayaking, sailing, swimming, you name it I probably like to do it. Plus, my dog – a 6-year old Chihuahua mix with some big-time personality that I adopted from Homeward Pet – loves to hike, so I got to keep him happy. He conquers those 13 mile hikes with me no problem!”
For all the great work she does, and how she does it, Becca is truly a Homeward Hero.
