Volunteer with Shelter From the Storm
When: Saturday, April 29 @ 29-12 or 12-2:30
Where: PetSmart on the East side

Join HSO for an opportunity to volunteer with Shelter From the Storm (for more information on this organization visit their website). On April 29th the PetSmart on the East side will be holding an adoption day and we have been asked to participate with that. Our job would be to basically hold and keep the cats and dogs calm while customers look to potentially adopt. So, if you are interested in playing with cats or dogs for a few hours definitely consider signing up!
 
The event is split into 2 shifts: 9-12 and 12-2:30. Transportation there will be arranged. If interested in signing up for one or two of the shifts, email me at smheim@wisc.edu.
