Charlene is the most caring human and true friend. Her kindness extends to our furry four-legged companions and she is always willing to help take care of our friends’ pets. She also sets responsible boundaries and handles pets in a disciplined manner when necessary. Charlene also spends her free time volunteering for our local SPCA because it is a priority to her. If I had my own pet and needed some help, Charlene would be the first person I call.

I know Charlene as a fellow volunteer at the TC SPCA. Through the training plan there, Charlene has become a dog walker who has progressed to the highest level of ability and is qualified to walk any of the dogs at the shelter. Charlene takes her volunteering seriously and can always be counted on to be there on her scheduled day. She is caring and compassionate and takes a special interest in all the canines. She is undaunted by some of the challenging dogs. I’ve also seen her cuddling with some of our old timers giving them much needed belly rubs and loving attention. She understands dogs all have unique personalities. When you have someone who is taking care of your precious pets, you need them to be dependable and caring of their needs. I have two dogs of my own and I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment having her watch them in my absence. That’s the highest compliment I could give someone.
