Volunteer Spotlight: Alexis Redmond

Last year, Alexis was looking around for an opportunity to volunteer at the Pet Adoption Center, but nothing t her schedule too well besides of ce work. Luckily she was able to get in to volunteer at the Kitten Nursery and was a great help there during Kitten Season 2015! Alexis still volunteers in the offices with us during the off-season, and her computer skills have been an invaluable help keeping our Volunteer Department running at full speed. We are so thankful to have such great and multi-talented volunteers like Alexis on our team!
