LITTLE SHELTER

My family decided we wanted to adopt a dog. We were thinking we would like a border collie. So we started searching on the computer. We came across a border collie at Little Shelter. We called to see if the dog was available for adoption. They told us she was so the next day we took a ride to see her. When we arrived at the shelter we were sorry to hear that another family was interested in adopting the little border collie. The staff at the shelter encouraged us to take a look around, and maybe we would see another dog that we'd like to adopt. One of the girl's that worked there showed us a litter of puppies that were only 6 weeks old. Make a long story short we ended up taking one of the puppies home with us. That was 14 years ago! Going to the shelter that day was the best thing we ever did. That was the day Jade, the name she was given by the shelter, came into our lives, and the day Maggie became a member of this family.
After 14 years of being a loyal friend and companion Maggie has passed. We love her and we miss her. If we ever decide to adopt another puppy you can sure Little Shelter will be the first place we go.
The people at Little Shelter were very kind and helpful. They went out of their way to help us and make sure we were happy with our selection. Over the years we'Ve told many people about Little Shelter and recommend them highly.

I applied to volunteer to assist at the Little Shelter and attended an orientation which was required before anyone can tend to the animals. Kathy Riccoboni is in charge of the volunteers and she is so effervescent and approachable. She encouraged questions from the volunteers who attended the orientation and expertly fielded all of them. The volunteer program is laid back and volunteers make their own schedules. Because this is a no kill facility, Little Shelter houses some special needs dogs and cats which are difficult to adopt. I try to give these cuties more attention. This has been a truly fulfilling and gratifying experience and a great place to volunteer for those who have a few hours a week to spare.
