Happy National Volunteer Appreciation Week! 🎉
Every time I see a blue T-shirt walking down our hallway, I’m reminded of the heart and soul behind NOCO Humane — our incredible volunteers. Their compassion and commitment radiate through every corner of our shelter, ensuring homeless animals in northern Colorado have the love, care, and support needed to find their second chance.
This past year alone, our dedicated team of more than 630 volunteers contributed 64,997 hours of service. That’s the equivalent of 31 full-time employees — an extraordinary gift of time, energy, and love. On the topic of impressive numbers, our volunteers made an incredible impact this past year:
⭐ 1,030 animals received love and care in a foster home
⭐ 1,229 animals received extra TLC while recovering from surgery
⭐ 4,837 professional photos were taken to help our animals find loving homes
⭐ 5,795 walks were given to our dogs
⭐ 11,962 "thank you" letters were sent to our amazing donors
⭐ 27,745 kennels were cleaned
⭐ 122,425 enrichment items were created
They open their hearts, their homes, and their schedules to make life better for animals in need — and we are endlessly grateful. Thank you, NOCO Humane volunteers, for your unwavering compassion and generosity. Your selfless service is helping create a kinder, more caring community for all. 🐾🥰
