Volunteers needed, welcomed at Gwinnett Animal Shelter

Volunteers provide hundreds of hours each month at Gwinnett’s Bill Atkinson Animal Welfare Shelter, 884 Winder Highway in Lawrenceville. Activities include everything from doing laundry for fresh bedding, walking dogs, playing with kittens or assisting at special events.

All volunteer time helps care for animals while in their temporary home.

The animal shelter recently recognized one such volunteer, known as the Mayor of Itty Bitty Kitty City, for her more than 7 years of volunteering. The two-time Presidential Award winner, Ms. Sue, spent several days each week caring for as many as 60 homeless kittens at a time, logging more than 1,000 hours each year caring for the animals.
