The VHS has MANY dogs in their care at the moment, and it would be terrific if they were all able to partake with us tomorrow morning.

We need your help to make that happen! Spread the word, bring a friend, and let’s help give these shelter dogs a fun & enriching morning in the park!

CFC is a fantastic opportunity for kids to get outdoors, get active, and learn at a young age the importance of volunteerism!

Volunteer Spotlight💡Annabelle Lansdale

Our group just continues to grow and grow! We’d love for you to get to know more about one of the newest additions to our crew, Annabelle. We’re so appreciative of her commitment to not only CFC, but the shelter felines as well!

Occupation?
I am a legal assistant at Ziemer, Stayman, Weitzel & Shoulders, LLP. I run a horse farm in Evansville called Signal K**b Equestrian Center where I run a beginners program and teach horse riding lessons in the afternoon.

Hobbies?
I play soccer at Oakland City University. My boyfriend and I also foster cats for Vanderburgh Humane Society!

On the weekend you’re usually ….
At Vanderburgh Humane Society walking dogs on Saturday morning with Parker or hosting horseshows for my students at my farm.

Why did you start coming to CFC?
My boyfriend and I work a lot of hours throughout the week and don’t get much time to do things we want to do. We both have a huge love for animals and wanted to contribute more to our shelter.

What do you love most about volunteering?
I love being able to spend time with and make a difference for the dogs. I love seeing them find their forever homes and grow their personalities over time.

Name one of your favorite movies:
Avatar!

Pets?
I have a fat orange cat named Pablo and a small black cat named Katara. I also have Rough Collie named Jupiter.

Would you rather cook dinner or go out to eat?
I would rather go out and eat because I can’t cook to save my life.
