🌟 Volunteer of the Month: Skylar 🌟
Erie Animal Network Junior Volunteer Extraordinaire
This month, we are incredibly proud to recognize Skylar as our Volunteer of the Month! At just 12 years old, Skylar is already leaving a big paw print on the world of animal rescue and we’re so lucky to have her as part of the Erie Animal Network family.
Skylar’s compassion and dedication shine in everything she does. She has a gentle, patient presence that makes her a favorite among our shyest cats those who need extra time and trust to come out of their shells. Her quiet confidence helps them feel safe, and somehow, she always seems to know just what they need.
Her love for animals doesn’t stop at the shelter. Skylar and her amazing family foster both cats and kittens, offering comfort and care during their most vulnerable moments. She’s also opened her heart and home to three adopted cats from EAN each one now thriving as a beloved family member.
Skylar’s kindness goes beyond the physical care of animals. She lovingly creates healing cards for our sick cats, bringing hope and comfort during their recovery. It’s a small gesture that carries so much heart.
She’s also a fundraising powerhouse. For the past four years, Skylar has hosted her own lemonade stand fundraiser, raising thousands of dollars to help animals in need. And her generosity doesn’t stop there- Skylar runs her own bracelet business, donating half of all proceeds to the shelter. Her bracelets are proudly on display at EAN, and every one sold helps save lives.
What truly sets Skylar apart is how she treats everyone she meets. She brings warmth, kindness, and a smile to every interaction whether it’s a new volunteer, a visitor, or one of our furry friends. She’s a friend to all, human and animal alike.
Skylar represents the very best of the next generation of animal advocates. Her energy, empathy, and leadership inspire us all. She’s not just a volunteer she’s an essential part of the Erie Animal Network.
From all of us at EAN: thank you, Skylar, for your heart, your hard work, and your unwavering love for animals. 💛🐾
