Volunteer Spotlight: Sue Norton-Scott & The Home Visit Team

Pop quiz! How many people does it take to ensure safe and loving homes and families for our Goldens? It takes a team of 43 dedicated people led by Sue Norton-Scott, the Home Visit Team Coordinator, to visit about 24 adoption applicants each month. To protect our team and our prospective adoptive families from COVID-19, we proactively suspended Home Visits on March 15th. When we resumed visits on June 1st, the team was deluged with 20 applications in just one week. Virtual tours were added to the procedure, enabling team members at risk of contracting the virus to also do visits and get families approved to adopt that special Golden. Within 11 days, 107 new applications were received. 

Their work is always appreciated, but this quarter, we are especially proud to salute the steadfast Home Visit Team for tackling the massive task of approving homes for our Goldens.
