🌟🐾Volunteer Appreciation Week!🌟🐾
This Volunteer Appreciation week, we are shining a special light on one of our incredible volunteers, Stephanie!
For the past year, Stephanie has been a dedicated part of the NACC team, especially when it comes to our small animals. From guinea pigs and hamsters to ferrets and gerbils, she helps care for them but her heart truly belongs to the rabbits.🐰
Stephanie helps with cleaning and caring for our small animals and also brings them veggies treats every visit. 🥕🥬 Her compassion doesn’t stop at our doors - she also volunteers with RVA Street Bunny Society, helping rescue rabbits in need.
We are so grateful for her kindness and time she devotes to caring for the small critters. 💕🐹
Thank you, Stephanie!

🐾🚨Animal Control Appreciation Week!🚨🐾
Today, we are highlighting Norfolk Animal Protection Unit Humane Officer II Calnan.
Officer Calnan has served as a Humane Officer with the City of Norfolk for 12 years!
He had this to share:
“After working in animal shelters and veterinary clinics for many years, I chose to be a Humane Officer because it is an opportunity to advocate for the well being of animals. My favorite moment from being a Humane Officer was meeting and adopting my wonderful dog, Gizella from NACC.”

✨Thank you, Officer Calnan for going above and beyond to help the animals in our community! 💙
