Thank you volunteers!

The theme for National Volunteer Week, commemorated April 18-24, is "Celebrating People in Action." In no other place is that theme more appropriate than here at the Escondido Humane Society.

Simply put, the Escondido Humane Society would not be a success without our volunteers. Our dedicated team accomplishes extraordinary things for our animals on a daily basis. They care for the animals in many ways, from dog walking, cat cuddling, cleaning kennels and behavior support to events, supporting fundraising and public relations efforts and so much more. Not to mention all the loving attention and countless hours they give to our animals, who are truly the reason we are all here. The animals' lives are enriched immeasurably through their time and compassion.

Join us in applauding the 800+ volunteers at the Escondido Humane Society who donate their time to the animals every day. We thank you for your commitment, energy, kindness, enthusiasm, compassion and, most importantly, for always being there when the animals need you the most.

Volunteers have a hands-on role in changing the lives of animals all year long. If you would like to learn more about volunteering at EHS, please contact Mary Ellen Kuhn, Volunteer Director, at volunteer@escondidohumanesociety.org.
