Mark Ferri is a local volunteer at The Vance County Animal Shelter. He joined WIZS for TownTalk Today at about the 11:40 a.m. Mark in the show. He is also a veteran.
It turns out that walking a dog is both good for the animal and good for the person, especially as it can help ease the mind of a veteran who may be suffering from any number of stresses.
For whatever reason or for no reason other than wanting to volunteer, you can walk a dog at the shelter too.
Dog Walk For Veterans (and others) is this Saturday, November 4, 2017 from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. The shelter is located at 1243 Brodie Road in Henderson. 252-492-3136.
It is anticipated that this walking program will both increase volunteerism at the shelter as well as adoptions.
