Consider Volunteering!

October 19th, 2012 | Posted by HSMCadmin in Rescues | Shelter Updates | Uncategorized - (Comments Off)

PLEASE consider volunteering with the Humane Society of Marlboro County and help us serve the homeless animals of our county.

If you are reading this, don’t just assume that someone else will step up and do it. We need EVERYONE’S help to make this Humane Society a success. We always need more volunteers so the same few are not overburdened.

You will not regret being a part of this wonderful team! :)

We can do more and accomplish more if we can delegate tasks and one person is not doing 10 things. If we have 10 people doing those 10 things, we produce better results.Take a look at this list and see if you can help or email us an area that have an interest in! We are open to suggestions!

TEACHER VOLUNTEERS: To teach a Pet Responsibility Education Program in schools that Scotland County has offered to share with Marlboro County!

What is Scentsy you ask?

Scentsy Candles Products are a safe alternative to scented candles! Their Warmers melt and warm the wax releasing the fragrance into the air which means – NO BURNING. This makes your home safer for you, your family and pets.

This is Whoot! One of the many beautiful warmers that Scentsy has to offer.

We are DESPERATE for VOLUNTEERS! DESPERATE! DESPERATE!

Marlboro County citizens, we must have your help to do this! There are NO PAID EMPLOYEES. We have a core group of volunteers who are spending all their spare time feeding/cleaning and

they are absolutely exhausted.

Can you please, please spare a couple of hours a week?

That’s how long it takes a team of 3 to clean and feed the animals at each meal time.

We DESPERATELY need more help Monday-Friday in the evenings at around 5:30 PM and Sat-Sun in the morning and evenings. Times are flexible!

We feed the animals, let them out in the yard to play, clean their runs, wash their food bowls and give them loving. :)

PLEASE consider committing to 2 hours a week to help these poor cats, dogs, puppies and kittens feel more at home until they actually get a home!

WE CANNOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOUR HELP!

Email us at humanesocietyofmarlborocounty@yahoo.com if you have questions or can help and bring a friend or three!

We have set a tentative date that the Humane Society of Marlboro County will move into the repaired Marlboro County Animal Shelter.

Saturday, August 11 we will need as many volunteers as possible to help us move in! We will need pickup trucks and trailers to move kennels, etc from our current holding location to the shelter.

A more detailed list of our needs will be posted soon.

If you can help us on Saturday, August 11th in any capacity, please email us at humanesocietyofmarlborocounty@yahoo.com with the best way for us to contact you and we will let you know the details of where to be and what time as we figure out our schedule for the day.

Please do list if you are bringing a truck or trailer!

Thank you and please share!

Congratulations to the winner of the New Swing and Picnic Table from our Summer Benefit!

We have a wonderful Success Story to share with you all! This is Rosie who we pulled from the Marlboro County Animal Shelter last year in the flurry of activity just after the videos and photos were made public. Rosie was sent to a Rottie rescue group up north and has now found her Forever Home!

Here is a note from her new family who adore her:
“I wanted to tell you how great Rosie is doing! She is such an awesome dog. Lovable, playful, obedient, great with my kids and very tolerant of my one year old ;) We are amazed at how well she listens and how fast she learns. Whoever didn’t want her, sure did miss out! We love her and feel so lucky to have her!!
Thank you so much for bringing her up to PA so we could find her and bring her into our lives. We feel like it was meant to be!”

The Humane Society of Marlboro County has finalized our lease on the Marlboro County Shelter! We are working out the details and waiting on the county to make some much needed repairs.

We will keep everyone posted on a volunteer clean-up/project date.
