Volunteering is for everyone!

 

Meet Tobias Whitley! He is an amazing 13 year old Sanctuary One volunteer who regularly dedicates his time to caring for the animals on the farm. He and his grandmother Julie have built a very special relationship with our sweet poodle Gabe. 

Learn about his experience in his own words:

My name is Tobias Whitley. I am thirteen years old and have been a volunteer at Sanctuary One since May 2015. After a tour of the farm with my grandmother, I decided to do the volunteer training and come out on a regular schedule. My favorite thing to do is walk the dogs. When I first started volunteering, there were about five or six dogs to walk and they all had their own personalities. I also like to socialize with the cats.

It makes me feel good to give them the attention they need. The dogs and cats are always happy to see a volunteer, and I really love it when there’s a note posted on the whiteboard that a cat has been adopted. I also like to muck the barnyard. I know that sounds weird, but it feels good to work hard at the farm and be a part of the “farm family.” I have also helped out at special events like adoption days and Earth Day.

I am proud to spread the word to the community about Sanctuary One. It’s an awesome place to work and play!

Julie, Tobias’ grandma and Gabe

"Hello there! My name is Fergie, and I am the sweetest little puppy you'll ever meet! I am friendly, quiet and love to cuddle. I am a gentle pup, but I have lots of energy and love to play! I love to meet new people and give kisses!I can be a bit shy at first, but I'll warm up to you in no time! I am still just a baby, so I am looking for a family who can spend lots of time with me, teach me new things, and give me lots of love and affection.I am a Border Collie mix so I will need an active family as I get older. I do have an injury on my head but it is healing very nicely and does not cause me any issues. I will be available for adoption after I am old enough to be spayed.Please submit an Adoption Application below if you want to adopt me, we are going to have so much fun together! sanctuaryone.org/rescue-animals/adopt-us/adoption-application/ ...
