Brittney Reese from DuQuoin dedicated nearly 300 hours of her summer vacation to volunteering at the Perry County Humane Society. This week, Girl Scout Britt started high school and her puppy pal (named Brittney!) will be leaving the shelter for a new home.
Check out this short Q&A with Britt:
Q. Why did you choose to volunteer with the animal shelter?
A. I like animals!! The animals at the shelter need extra love.
Q. What was your favorite part about helping there for so long over the summer?
A. Spending time with the animals. My boss was fun to work with also.
Q. What did you learn from your experience?
A. There are a lot of animals that do not have homes. Some of the animals arrive with horrible stories.
Q. Why do you think volunteering & community service is important?
A. Because it gets you off your butt! If volunteers didn't volunteer at the Humane Shelter then there would be a lot of animals killed, because they would be sent to "kill shelter."
