To the Editor:
The article “Fairfax County Animal Shelter Gets Creative to Save Lives,” (Connection, February 26-March 4, 2015) inspired me by how dedicated the volunteers are to provide the best care for the animals they take in and find them a new home as soon as possible. They would not be able to place 2,500 animals in loving homes this past year if it was not for their teamwork. Thanks to the dedication of 300 shelter volunteers, foster caregivers, social media sharers, and donations to this organization, thousands of animals were given a chance to live a more fulfilling life. This shelter has even taken theburden upon themselves to help other overcrowded shelters by taking their animals and finding homes for them as well. The volunteers at Fairfax County Animal Shelter truly care about their animals and dedicate their time to give them more exercise and a home. After reading this article I immediately filled out a volunteer application for this shelter so I, too, can help more animals find the loving home that they deserve.
