May 2016 – Volunteer of the Month – Melissa Pletcher

Melissa Pletcher

Melissa Pletcher is an amazing person and a fantastic volunteer. Even though she’s been with us less than a year, Melissa has packed more than a year’s worth of help into her hours with West Coast Dog and Cat Rescue. She quickly grasped what needed to be done as an adoption counselor and jumped into the front lines for the customer-packed “Pet Photos with Santa” fundraiser as well. As her original volunteer application stated, she excels at “people, pets and paperwork” and we put all her talents to good use. And even though she is moving to North Carolina in June, she has continued to pack shifts into her schedule through May and even helping out with a short-term foster as she packs her home and she says she is willing to continue to assist with our rescue efforts from afar after she moves. Thank you Melissa for your dedication and talent!
