Help me welcome some of our newest AARC team members!

I want to take a minute to introduce (even if I'm a little late to the party) some of our newest faces here at AARC! Please welcome Patience E., Rebecca D., Tyler M., and Kelsey D.!

Some of them have been here 3–4 months already, so I guess you could say I'm a little behind on my introductions! Better late than never, right? 😂

They have all become a great part of our team, and I am thankful to have them here. Each one of them is dedicated to our residents and works hard every day to make sure the dogs and cats here get the care, love, and attention they deserve.

Working in animal rescue isn't always pretty. There is plenty of cleaning, barking, meowing, laundry, and probably more p**p than anyone ever thought possible! 😂 But it takes a special kind of person to show up every day and give these animals what they need.

I am proud to have them as part of our AARC Team. We are glad you're here, and I promise I'll try not to wait another 4 months to introduce the next new person!

Welcome to the team! ❤️
