Meet Virginia and ‘Rocky,’ Virginia volunteers with Pets of Older Persons (POOPs) and is sharing their story as part of our ‘Share Your Story’ series.
Making a Difference Helping Rocky
“The difference I know I’m making in the life of Rocky the Shitzu. His mum is bedridden and without our daily ball-chasing activities, in the park across from his home, Rocky would be starved of physical and mental stimulation. It’s a two-way situation because I get as much from this as he does. He makes my heart smile and any day that starts with Rocky in it is indeed a wonderful day.”

Find Your Passion
“Once you find where your passions lie (i.e., animals, older people, environment, whatever) go for it. You will definitely be enriched from knowing you’re making such a difference.”
