Thank you so much, Courtni!

MHC Volunteer since: Since 2016

Volunteer position/s?   
I started volunteering in 2016 when I first volunteered the help coordinate the Hot Dog Run. 
I have helped with the Hot Dog Run, the Fur Ball, shot clinics, fostering, and I run the chip clinics at Yappy Hour. Anytime I go into PetSmart, I stop by and love on some of the babies! ​

Fun Facts:
I am a native Midlander and I currently work at Keller Williams. I don't have much time for hobbies outside of work and volunteering, but I love reading when I can. 

​Got pets?
My husband and I have 4 dogs, but we regularly foster for local rescues. ​

Why do you volunteer with MHC? What motivates you to stay involved?
I have a passion for animals and I think education is so important. I really love interacting with the community and teaching them about all the resources that are available. 
​
In your opinion, what is the most important work that this organization does? 
I love the emphasis on community involvement and what we can offer the people of Midland with our low cost clinics. 

Has volunteering with MHC had a positive impact on your life?  Tell us about a time/incident  that was especially meaningful for you while volunteering with MHC.  
I scan dogs regularly, and I love it when I can talk to people about our shot clinics, then I see them at the next one! It helps me know that a simple conversation can change the life of a pet! 

​If you could encourage someone else to volunteer with MHC, what would you tell them?
It only takes 1 or 2 days a month if you volunteer for the same events regularly. 1 or 2 days to make such a huge impact! ​

What is your favorite thing about volunteering with MHC? 
 I really love the opportunity to educate and work with the community. It is amazing knowing that we are helping families. ​
