Dog and Cat Shelter director thanks volunteers

The Sheridan Dog and Cat Shelter is a no kill shelter that operates primarily on donations and grants. 

Full time staff maintain the care of the varied animals housed within the facility. From dogs and cats to gerbils and even fish, the staff are kept busy with feedings, adoptions, meetings and care. 

But the shelter has other duties. And care for so many animals takes a staffing level that donations cannot provide. That’s where the volunteers come into play. 

While appearing on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse program, shelter director AJ Evans thanked her volunteers that take time out of their lives to ensure that maintenance is done on the grounds and the building as well as ensure dogs are being walked and cats are being cuddled. 

Evans has been director of the Sheridan Dog and Cat Shelter since spring. In that time, she has learned from former director, Jill Moriarty, how to keep the shelter operations in running order. She has also seen the irreplaceable value of volunteers and used the program as an opportunity to show her gratitude and thank them publicly.
