At our super successful Golden Gala last weekend, Carolyn Waters was announced "AGA Volunteer of the Year." On behalf of all the orphans and adoptees, we thank you!! Here's what Lauren said. The rest of us just wagged our tails. Really hard.
"I want to take a minute to recognize a special volunteer who has worked tirelessly for us. This is a woman who is the first to go look for a lost dog, she will drop everything to get a dog out of a shelter and safely to a vet. She will take a dog to a foster who is unable to pick up their foster dog before a vet closes just so that dog can get into a home one day earlier. And, if a dog is waiting for a foster home to open up and is in boarding, she is one of the first to go visit the dog, give it a walk, bring it a toy and then spend another hour brushing the dog. She also opens her home to foster our dogs and has adopted 3 over the years. When we have a transport coming from a puppy mill in Missouri that arrives at 4 am in an empty Walmart parking lot, she is the one who is there and is the one who talked everyone else into showing up. She is the one that deserves the first ever AGA Volunteer of the Year Award… She is Carolyn Waters. Please join me in thanking her."
Congrats, Carolyn! Woof woof!
