Cristina Casellato is the true definition of “Dog’s Best Friend”! She has given her heart and soul to scores of pups over her last five years of serving as a Foothills volunteer. Her goal is making sure each dog is given as many hugs and walks as possible, despite any kind of weather. Snow…rain…there are no barriers to keep Cristina from giving the pups the attention and cuddles they long for. And if a doggie needs a bit of beautifying, Cristina jumps right in to wash, clip and brush. Her dedication to enriching the lives of animals goes even further than dogs. She recently took in newborn bunnies and tirelessly nursed them until they were strong enough to thrive on their own. Her compassion and generosity have made not only the animals at Foothills happier, healthier, and more adoptable, but her uplifting attitude has brought out the best in all of us. We thank you for your years of service and smiles…You definitely make a difference!
Volunteer Spotlight: Meet Rose!
There is nothing more important to Rose Eck than the happiness and comfort of cats, kittens and all things feline. Rose has been a volunteer with Foothills for nearly two years and she has made it a point to regularly visit and comfort her precious kits six days a week. Rose is an impartial soul, giving her best cuddles and sweet talk to those cats that need it the most. She has brought out the best even in the fiercest. She has also taken the time to sit with potential adopters and share her experiences with their preferred cat. Her tender heart breaks a bit when she has to say goodbye to one of her favorites, but it also bursts with joy knowing they have found their ‘furever’ and perfect home.
We salute you, Rose! Your consistent touch of love towards our Foothills feline community has enriched their lives, as well as ours.
