Volunteer of the Month
Bobby Rowe II joined our shelter family as a junior in high school, and has been regularly volunteering with the Humane Society of Cambria County for six years now. In his time with us, he has enjoyed dedicating his efforts to our dogs, cats, and exotic animals, especially rabbits, educating the public on adoption, and assisting at community events. As well, Bobby has shared our wish list of needed items like non-clumping cat litter, Purina ONE Dog Food, Purina Cat Chow, etc. in hopes of bringing awareness to the needs of the shelter. He has even collected these items for his birthday to donate to the animals. Outside of the shelter, Bobby works at Laurelview Village and cares for Leo, his 12 year old Jack Russell and Wire Fox Terrier Mix. His family adopted Leo two years ago and loves him dearly! This is not the first time Bobby has adopted from the Humane Society of Cambria County. His family cared for Bailey, a Beagle and Terrier Mix, for six years before she crossed the rainbow bridge. Most recently, Bobby has adopted a horse into his family and named her Angel. He spends a lot of time with her to make sure she is taken care of and exercised. Our shelter animals are so lucky that Bobby’s love for all furry friends extends beyond Leo, Bailey, and Angel to all of our dogs, cats, rabbits, and more. They know that when they see him coming that means they are going to have some fun play time or cuddle time. And, as they watch Bobby leave for the day with a smile on his face, they smile back. Thank you Bobby for touching the lives of so many shelter animals as they patiently wait for their furever home!
We need your help!
#HSCC is a completely non-profit organization. That means we survive off of the support from people like you. Please open your heart and help provide these animals with the supplies on our wish list. The dogs and cats thank you in advance!
