Lauren Farwell
What do you get when you cross someone who has a passion for education and a passion for animals? Lauren Farwell, that’s who! Lauren joined our volunteer team as a cat volunteer two years ago and quickly became interested in fostering as well. As she got to know us better and we got to know her better, we thought she would be a perfect fit as one of our leading volunteer humane educators where she provides educational outreach to school-aged children through tours and school visits. Lauren is proudly owned by two of her former foster kittens, Dexter and Riley. Lauren is finishing up her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. We are so grateful that she has chosen to spend her very limited free time spreading the word about responsible pet ownership and bettering our community. Thank you, Lauren!!
365 days a year, volunteers from all over the Austin area and beyond come to AHS to play with puppies, walk dogs, keep the company of cats and kittens, help our clinic staff, work with potential adopters and attend special events in the community! In one year, our volunteer hours equal that of 22 full time employees! We cannot thank our volunteers enough for all the time and compassion they give to the animals.
Volunteers make the AHS world go around. Do you have pictures of AHS volunteers doing what they love best? Please submit to: marketing@austinhumanesociety.org Thanks!
