I began volunteering 2 years ago.  I love animals and chose PAWS because I believe in the work they do.

I am a level 2 dog volunteer at the PAWS North Shore Adoption Center.

I want to continue to help animals find loving homes for their benefit as well as to enrich the lives of the people who adopt them.
