Budding volunteers
From our youngest volunteer, Ella:
Hi, I am Ella. I am 12 and a 7th grade student in SF and a Muttville volunteer. I find that being at Muttville and working with all of the amazing dogs gives me a feeling of happiness and pride. All of the other volunteers and foster parents are so nice, kind and supportive that I always feel comfortable there. The dogs are so sweet. But it’s hard when they get adopted. For instance, I loved one of the dogs named Bee Gee and he was the sweetest. And then he got adopted. I felt so sad I cried. But on the other hand, I was happy that he found a home with people that would love him. In a way, I’m happy because now I can finally understand how to appreciate these dogs, knowing they may find homes in places other than my heart.

Ella is fabulous! I hope she knows how much she has helped Muttville and our dogs. We can really tell how much she loves the mutts!

I got to meet Ella at last Sunday’s adoption event in Mill Valley.
She was THE BEST!
She could tell me about each dog and she was articulate, enthusiastic and definitely loved our mutts.
Keep up the GREAT WORK Ella!
