The month of September spotlights two incredible women making a difference in our community and beyond for homeless animals ! We appreciate you both so much !
🎉 MEET OUR EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH: SADIE! 🎉
We are thrilled to shine a spotlight on Sadie, whose dedication and heart have made her our clear choice for Employee of the Month!
Sadie doesn’t just care for our adoptable cats—she truly sees them, knows them, and loves them for exactly who they are.
Whether she’s soothing a nervous newcomer or celebrating a shy cat’s first purr, Sadie brings patience, insight, and genuine kindness to every interaction. She learns each cat’s unique personality and needs, helping them feel safe, seen, and ready to find their forever home.
But her warmth doesn’t stop with the cats—Sadie also guides potential adopters with grace and wisdom.
She listens carefully to what families are looking for and helps them find the purr-fect match, creating bonds that last lifetimes. Her thoughtful approach ensures that every adoption is built on understanding and love.
Sadie, your hard work, your big heart, and your unwavering commitment to both animals and people make you irreplaceable. You are making a real difference—one happy cat and one grateful family at a time.
Thank you for everything you do. Congratulations, Sadie! 🐾❤️
🌟 VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH: JULIE 🌟
Griffin Pond Animal Shelter
We are overflowing with gratitude as we announce our Volunteer of the Month: Julie!
From the moment she stepped through our doors, Julie has been nothing short of a godsend to our shelter, our animals, and our mission.
Julie’s dedication knows no bounds. She has opened her home and her heart—fostering, adopting (three times!), rescuing, and even helping place dogs from as far away as the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Her generosity extends beyond time and love; she has supported us through meaningful donations and has consistently shown up in ways we never could have imagined.
She has offered her home and property to our team, providing a safe, free space for fearful dogs to decompress and experience the joy of running without fear.
And who could forget sweet Billy, our long-term resident? Julie took him on a weekend outing, giving him—and us—a glimpse of life in a loving home. That experience was transformative, and we truly believe it played a vital role in helping Billy find his forever family.
Julie, you are the kind of volunteer every shelter dreams of—deeply invested, endlessly compassionate, and tirelessly committed to animal welfare both near and far. You don’t just talk about making a difference—you live it.
Thank you, Julie, for your unwavering heart, your boundless generosity, and for being such a profound blessing to the animals who need it most. The impact you’ve made will be felt for years to come. 🐾💖
