Volunteers of the Month

by Syd Sullins

Phil & Julie have been volunteering about a year now and it's always great to see them at The Ranch. They come all decked out with hiking shoes and gloves and they will get out all the dogs, including the big guys, to get some great exercise.

I really enjoy these two as they're funny and irreverent and just too much fun. I always know it's going to be a fun day when Phil and Julie show up.

Here's what they have to say about their experiences at The Ranch:

Julie said, ''being a Ranch hand brings me immeasurable joy! Dogs are extraordinary beings. They give 100% of their love all the time!''

''I never actually had recompense from any work before. Now that I'm retired, I get more reward from walking the dogs than money can replace," said Phil.
