Volunteers are a big part of what makes our world go ‘round! Our volunteers are a special…breed. They have huge hearts, endless compassion and extra time, all of which help the AHS accomplish our mission of improving the lives of animals. From time to time, we’d like to introduce you to some of these unique individuals like…

Paul Moerman

Volunteer Paul Moerman is truly a friend of the animals. Acting as our Senior Volunteer Photographer, Paul has proven himself to be a man of both compassion and talent. Each week, with the help of a dedicated Dog Volunteer and a committed Cat Volunteer, Paul takes beautiful new photos of our adoptable animals, with the hope that these “glamour shots,” shown almost immediately on our website, will attract adopters.  

Paul concentrates his efforts on the animals who need him most: our Lonely Hearts Club pets who have been waiting patiently for their forever families for over thirty days; our older Prime Time Pets, five years and up and any animals who need special advocacy. His project has touched countless lives, as attested by the many adopters who have come to the shelter with his photos in hand. Paul is definitely a member of our Volunteer Hall of Fame! Thank you, Paul, for being a member of our team!
