​There's no doubt as to how much Ashley loves animals. For one, she's got three cats of her own and is looking forward to fostering more! She also spends her free time hanging out with cats & dogs at the Adoption Center. You can also see her smiling face while helping pets get at our Shot Clinics! 

Thank you for your time, Ashley!

MHC Volunteer since: Fall of 2018.

Volunteer position/s?   
Socializing adult cats at the Adoption Center, dog walking, Shot Clinics. I plan to start fostering once our new home is completed.  When my youngest starts school full time I hope to help out even more in any areas needed. ​

Fun Facts:
I am originally from Decatur, Illinois. I graduated from Southern Illinois University in 2008 with a bachelor's degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics.  I moved to Houston, Texas shortly after to pursue an internship and escape the cold weather. That is where I met my husband, Michael and after having our first daughter we decided to move back to his home town, Midland. We moved here the first time in 2011 but were only here for just over a year. We returned to Midland this past summer when my husband was transferred back. We now have two daughters ages 5 and 7. I am a stay at home mom who enjoys volunteering, cooking, traveling and hanging out with my kids. 

Got pets?
We have 3 cats. Wednesday, Tuesday and Sunday. Named after the day we rescued them. ​

Why do you volunteer with MHC?
 I volunteer at MHC because I love animals.  Volunteering at MHC is important to me because not all dogs and cats are fortunate enough to have a forever home. So many are helpless and they need a voice and MHC is creating that voice. It's also important to provide the community with low cost shot clinics so that the animals that do have homes can remain healthy. Just knowing that this organization is working and that so many animals have found loving homes through MHC motivates me to stay involved.

In your opinion, what is the most important work that this organization does? 
I feel that the most important work that this organization does is creating awareness especially through the media. ​

Has volunteering with MHC had a positive impact on your life?  
Volunteering with MHC has definitely had a positive impact on my life. It's always very meaningful for me when I read a sad back story on an animal and then when I greet them at their cage they are so loving and affectionate like nothing bad ever happened to them.

If you could encourage someone else to volunteer with MHC, what would you tell them?
I would tell them how rewarding it is to help animals in need. There are so many ways that you can help out with MHC so there is something for everybody. ​

What is your favorite thing about volunteering with MHC? 
MHC is a very well run organization and I know that they are making a huge impact on the health and lives of dogs and cats in our community. This makes me proud to be a part of something great like MHC.
