Kristin S. - September 2021 Volunteer of the Month
Sep. 20, 2021
Endearingly called “The Puppy Lady” by friends and neighbors, Kristin S. grew up on a working farm surrounded by animals, and now has a special place in her heart for puppies as a foster volunteer.
When Heidi was a child, her mother took in an abandoned cat. Ever since, Heidi has wanted to take care of animals in need of special help- a role that she now fulfills as foster volunteer.
Tracy J. has always had animals, whether they were cats, dogs, chickens, or goats. So it came naturally for Tracy to want to help the animals of our community as a foster volunteer.
Blazer's niche has always been to foster animals most in need, who may not have made it without her help. Through the years, she has helped to expand the capacity of MCAS for young kittens.
Kim P. has been a foster volunteer with Multnomah County Animal Services (MCAS) for over twenty years, and has been part of transformational changes to give new life to animals in need.
Congratulations to Ronda L., the February 2021 Volunteer of the Month. As a foster volunteer since 1998, Ronda has saved countless kittens and cats over the years.
