Park County Animal Shelter

A couple of us decided to go out and donate some of our time volunteering at our local animal shelter. We met with the manager Frank while he showed us all the different rooms & areas. He took me 1st to the free roam cat room. This room has several different cats of all ages, all of which are freely roaming amungst each other. Definitely impressive. Frank then took me to the kitten room & through the laundry room & linen area. He explained they forever doing laundry & always excepting linen donations. We then went out to see the dogs, which, I am happy to say, are at an all time low for occupancy at the shelter. They had fewer then ten when we went out to help. Just awesome. He then said when Summer time rolls around the rate of dogs, unfortunately, jumps. That would be when they need the most help. I feel that we all bonded with the dogs we walked & the cats we played with. It was a great experience, & all 3 of us hard core animal lovers learned a great deal about the shelter & it's value to our community. They do so much for the lost animals of Park County & we were happy to help them out.

The Cody donates all of our unusable linens to this shelter. They will be more than happy to take your old linens off your hands. Although, you might not be looking to adopt, keep in mind, they can always use volunteers to help clean the animal crates, walk the pup's, & do many other daily tasks & chores. You can donate your time, at any time from 7:30am to 5:00pm, the hours they are open. The Shelter did state, volunteers are always in need! And they are just as important as money donations. We urge you to take an hour of your time & go walk a dog! You leave with an amazing feeling, & the dogs, I'm sure, love it too. Give them a call & I know for a fact the staff out there will warmly welcome you, just as they did us.

They do have a website for more information. http://www.parkcountyanimalshelter.org/
