Our Volunteer of the Month

John Davis was originally from Sacramento, California but moved to Utah for his career. He started volunteering at the Humane Society of Utah four and a half years ago. He works mainly with the large dogs making sure that they get to spend some time in the outside kennels where they can run and play. He started volunteering when he moved to Utah. He did not know anyone and was looking for an activity that would help his new community when he saw an ad in a newspaper advertising volunteer opportunities at HSU. What John likes best about volunteering is the knowledge that you have made life a little better for the dogs you worked with that day.

When John is not volunteering or working, he mountain bikes and snowboards. He also has a dog, Cocoa, who he hikes with. Cocoa was adopted from the Humane Society of Utah three years ago by John and now is his walking buddy.

John would tell people that are thinking about volunteering that it is a very rewarding experience and that they can make a big difference to the animals.

In ten years John still hopes he is taking out the dogs to play.

Thank you John for being a great volunteer and a wonderful pet owner.
