We have the best youth in our community!


Time and time again, the youth of our community wow us with their generosity and kindness to animals in need.  Over the years, they bring the shelter gifts in lieu of birthday presents and come up with many creative ways to help the animals.  You can see some of them on our donation gallery.

In addition, there have been two special occasions lately.  Kaleagh dedicated her recent senior project to the shelter.  You can read all the details of her project here.
 

Girl Scout Junior Troop 80851 of Chambersburg recently lent a hand to our cats with a kitty brushing party.  More information about their visit here.
 
Thanks girls!

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, our thrift stores or fundraising, please visit the volunteer section of the website.  This month, meet Carly!

One of our faithful weekend dog caregivers, Carly selflessly gives up her free time on days off work to care for the over 30 dogs residing at our Chambersburg shelter.  We can also count on Carly to fill in on days when we are short-handed and it works with her schedule.  With dogs of her own (who occasionally get to ride along and wait in the car while Carly works), Carly's love for four-legged critters is evident.  She makes sure the dogs at Better Days get all of their daily food, any medications and of course, toys and treats too!  Carly isn't afraid to get dirty and can often be seen working a power-washer like a pro to make sure kennels are in tip-top shape.  Carly also loves making sure the dogs get out for walks and some quality one on one time.

Better Days sincerely appreciates Carly's dedication to the animals!  

Better Days is truly in need of reliable volunteers to assist at our Chambersburg, PA shelter.  If you are interested in dedicating time to animals in need, please visit our volunteer page to learn more!

Featured Adoptable Pets!

Meet Lance!  This little man is a sweetheart who needs someone to help him build his confidence!  Lance is a sweet boy who will curl up in your lap like a baby and loves belly rubs.  He is great on a leash and loves to go out for a walk.  He does well with many other dogs but would prefer a home without cats.  Lance can be timid around new people and will need a patient family without young children.  For more information on Lance, please fill out an adoption application or view his PetFinder ad
Meet Snickers!  This little sweetie came to the shelter as stray in Oct 2013. Snickers was on the shy side at first, it took our volunteers a lot of patience to earn her trust, but now she's learned to have faith in people again and will run to meet you at the door! Although still a little shy when she first meets strangers, it does not take her long to show her playful personality. Snickers gets along great with the other cats, she enjoys chicken watching and playing with her favorite purple ball! She would love to find a fur-ever home and not have to live at the shelter any longer, so if you would like to give Snickers the opportunity to grow up in your home, please submit an application ... you'll be glad you did!.  For more information on Snickers, please fill out an adoption application or visit Snickers' Petfinder ad.
