Volunteer Corner

Volunteers are extremely important to Better Days! If you are interested in helping Better Days by providing support for resident care, facilities maintenance, or fundraising, please visit the volunteer section of the website. This month, meet Mary!

All our volunteers are treasured, but when you are graced with the dedication of someone with many years of experience in animal welfare and care, Mary is a precious gem of ours! Mary started volunteering at the Better Days Animal League Chambersburg shelter in January 2011. She makes sure our canine residents have squeaky clean kennels and full bellies ... and of course, plenty of pets, love, walks and playtime in our exercise yards too! Mary is one of our dependable Saturday volunteers who offers her time and affection to the cats and dogs awaiting adoption at Better Days Animal League.

Better Days thanks Mary for being a committed volunteer and sincerely appreciates all the work she does for the animals.

You'll Be In My Heart!

Thank you to the generous donors who memorialized their beloved pets as part of the 2nd annual Better Days Animal League Valentine's Event. More than 160 candles were lit in honor of many wonderful pets. In case you missed the touching tribute video, you can see it here.

Featured Adoptable Pets!

Meet Angel! Angel is one of our brindle beauties in this month's header photo! She's a sweet girl who absolutely adores people and attention. Take her out for a walk and she'll roll and roll in the grass soaking up a beautiful day. She loves to go for car rides and is an excellent passenger. Angel would do best as an only pet. She would not be suitable for a home with cats and can be reactive around some other dogs. Angel was abandoned, tied to the gate at our Chambersburg shelter in 2013. There was a note attached to her collar which indicated her owner could no longer care for her. The note further stated she was 6 years old. For more information or to meet Angel, please fill out an adoption application or view her PetFinder ad.

Ever hear of “A Boy Named Sue”?! … well meet our boy named Peaches! He was dumped at the shelter one night, but lived outside for a while until he could be caught and given proper care. We believe he is about 4 - 5 years old. Peaches is a “sweetie pie”, however is a little timid at times and may need some time to “warm up” to a new home. He may not likely do well with young children due to being a shy guy, but Peaches does get along with other cats. If you love a handsome man with a bashful personality … won't you please consider giving him a fur-ever home? Peaches is currently residing at our Chambersburg thrift store. For more information, you can also fill out an adoption application or visit Peaches' PetFinder ad.
