Volunteers of the Month: John and Linda Pisney

Every nonprofit organization has that core group of volunteers who have stuck with them through thick and thin and are always there when needed. Two members of that group for Last Hope are John and Linda Pisney. They have been volunteering for almost five years and have helped us out in so many ways.

They’ve been coming in two times a week for the last five years to care for the dogs at the Adoption Center. Linda also processes adoption applications for dogs that stay at the Center and Cedar Run. She helps with office work one day a week by scanning documents and entering data into the computer. We’ve kept John busy with projects around the Center including painting, building platforms for the cats, installing a misting system for the dogs in the yard, putting up shelves in different areas, repairing panels in the dog runs, recycling the cardboard from the Center, power washing, and whatever he sees that needs to be done around the place. His next project is to repair the dog platforms that they play on.

Of course, things have changed since COVID-19 came on the scene. They have been staying home for the last two weeks and they miss the dogs and the work terribly. They hope this will all be over soon and things can return to normal.

What would we do without these two powerhouses? We don’t want to know! We so appreciate all they do and their willingness to jump in and help. Thank you, John and Linda!
