🐾❤️ Our day center staff and consumers had a meaningful day volunteering at Southeast Missouri Pets —and it was about so much more than cuddles and tail wags! 🐶🐱

Through walking dogs, caring for cats, and helping with daily tasks, our consumers built confidence, practiced responsibility, and developed teamwork skills in a fun, hands-on way. 🌟 Volunteering not only gives back to the animals who need love and care, but it also provides opportunities for growth, learning, and building independence.

Every small act of kindness adds up to big impact—for the pets, for our community, and for each of us. 💕
