Volunteer of the Year

Our volunteers are the heart and soul of Paws and Think. Thanks for all that you do!

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us. We would love to talk with you about the possibilities.

2010 Volunteer of the Year: Carol Davenport

Carol has devoted many hours to the scheduling of prospective animal assisted activity/therapy team members (AAAT) for Paws and Think classes and the working evaluation. She spends many of her weekend hours assisting in the training of the prospective teams and has also attended courses on her own time to increase her understanding of animal assisted activity and therapy. Carol is currently raising Eddy as a service-dog-in-training, who has shown great behavioral improvement under her tutelage. Dickens, Eddy’s new sibling, is also enjoying his company.
