MEET THE STAFF
Once a week we will be profiling a member of our staff so that when you do come in for boarding, grooming, training, or daycamp you will feel like you are already a part of this wonderful family!
This week we are "meeting" Sherri Timmons, DayCamp Counselor.
Sherri lives at home with her husband, two children (one of which is grown and has left the nest), 6 cats and the three dogs you see here. The little one is Milo. He is a wonder dog who manages to get around really well, even on three legs! Then we have Josie (the bigger collie mix) and Sandy. All three of them come to work with Sherri during the day and either hang out in
DayCamp with Sherri or in a kennel suite where they can nap undisturbed.
Sherri enjoys reading, gardening and taking a nap in her spare time. When her and her family want to go out for dinner she prefers to go to the Olive Garden. She enjoys watching comedies with her family or when she wants some *down time* to herself she reads her books on animals.
Sherri has been doing
DayCamp for dogs for about 8 years now and has been with
Best Friends for over two of those eight years. She is a much loved asset to our
DayCamp program here. As you can see the dogs certainly love her! How hard can it be to spend your days playing with or cuddling with everyone's favorite family pet? As we all know there is definite work to running the
DayCamp program, it but the rewards you get from their unconditional love makes up for any down side there might be. (dog-doo scooping) She also likes the fact that working here means she can also work with some of our cats that we have in.
When weather permits, Sherri likes to take the dogs outside to our fenced in play yards. Everyone likes to get out in the fresh air! During our warm months she makes sure the doggie pools are put to good use. Year round you will find her either playing kong with our Golden's cuddling with our little ones or laughing over the antics of our younger members. We also hold a
DayCamp party once a month, (theme's vary) where Sherri keeps them busy with fun and games, we take pictures (sometimes of your pet *dressed* for the occasion) which of course you get to keep, and each pet gets to take home a goodie bag filled with treats.
Sherri is always on the look out for a prospective new addition to the
DayCamp program. She often attends events for
Best Friends so watch for her. And please, when you see her talk to her about the program. It is a terrific way for your dog to become a social king or queen, have a lot of fun and best of all, go home tired at the end of the day! And tell Sherri everyone from
Best Friends loves having here her with us.
