Volunteers play an important role in the delivery of services and save the County a substantial amount of money each year. At the County’s Animal Services Center, almost 100 people each year get to combine their love of four-legged furry pets with their commitment to service. They teach dogs how to walk on a leash, clean kennels and other tasks.
