Congrats to December’sVolunteer of the Month, Ava Schumacher! Put on your best winter paw-jamas,grab a meow-tini, cuddle up by the fireplace and let me tell you a tailabout one purrty cool OCAC volunteer – Ava Schumacher! If Ava looks fur-miliar,perhaps it is because you’ve seen her volunteering at our off-site Petcoadoption center over the last few years. Ava is a very paw-sitiveperson, always willing to lend a helping hand by transporting kittens to andfrom the center. She also does a great job promoting our pets for adoption onsocial media and never fails to keep them company while they await their fur-everhomes. Ava is no sourpuss… if you’re feline sad, she is sure to cheeryou up with her claw-some personality and hiss-terical jokes. Sheis truly a cat’s best fur-end!

The County of Orange Health Care Agency has asked for our help in conducting a survey of attitudes toward vaccination for COVID-19, which will be of great assistance to them in planning for distribution of the vaccine when it becomes available. We want them to listen to your opinion and we’re asking you to take less than five minutes to fill out a simple questionnaire concerning how you feel about being vaccinated against COVID-19. Just click on this link to reach the survey, and it will automatically be submitted when you complete it. You do not need to give your name or any other identifying information. All responses are anonymous and confidential. If you receive this request more than once, please only complete the survey once.

Thank you for performing this valuable service to your community.

Meditate on this for a moment- When not attending to the needs of our shelter dogs, you may find our volunteer of the month teaching downward dog at her yoga studio. From planking to pack walks, leg lunges to loose lead walks; it would be no stretch to say that Cecilia dedicates mind, body, & soul to our programs. Although she is a master of the cat-cow, her heart truly lies with the shelter dogs..

She is a warrior for both our TLC 1 and 2 programs; helping our most at-risk population of pups find balance, peace and harmony while in our care. The dogs wiggle like happy babies when they see her face and the staff can breath a sigh of relief, knowing that she is here to help in any/all ways.

Its time to strike your best child's pose and find your Zen, Cecilia- you are October's Volunteer of the Month ::Namaste::
