We are proud to introduce to you our volunteer of the month GENE GALASSINI!
Gene was nominated by his peers because:
“He is always there to help! Great with difficult dogs.”
“He comes to every shift to make sure to help with all dogs. Will come to do extra training with dogs and comes whenever asked. We benefit from his training.”
“His commitment and dedication is awesome.”
Gene started volunteering because he enjoys working with dogs and wanted to learn more about different breeds and personalities. Since volunteering, he has become a dog trainer to help dogs that need guidance.
When asked what Gene enjoys about volunteering- “My favorite thing about volunteering is working with the dogs that have issues. I enjoy helping the dogs and watching them find a home. I like to work for the underdogs. I appreciate being picked as volunteer of the month, but it is a team effort with my fellow volunteers.”
Gene chose Cody as his featured pet because Cody is so well behaved and aims to please. He’s a strong bully breed, so he’s overlooked.
We are lucky to have wonderful volunteers like Gene stay committed to helping the animals at P.A.W.S. Tinley Park. We are proud to have over 200 dedicated volunteers that run our shelter daily! Thank you Gene for your hard work!
