Isabella Conner, Oregon Jr. Pre-Teen Cover Girl, works hard with her Humane Society. She has been volunteering for the past several months working hard to help out in any capacity she is needed. She always is willing to pitch in where needed and ask to help, always keeping busy. She would help to socialize the cats, which helps them to get adopted since they are more willing to be around people. She would take the dogs for walk giving them much needed exercise and love. She would even pitch in with the big piles of laundry, towels and bedding for the animals. She has been a great assest to their staff and volunteers.

Marissa Rogers, 2010 South Carolina Miss Queen, volunteers her time with the Humane Society.

Marissa volunteered to help with the pet food drive to continue her dedication to helping animals and their families in need, benefiting the Humane Society.

Marissa volunteered to help with the pet food drive to continue her dedication to helping animals and their families in need, benefiting the Humane Society. Ever since she held her first pet at one year old, Marissa fell in love with animals. Each of her 12 pets she has had in her life has been a rescue animal. She would have never met them if they were not saved by continued perseverance of the Humane Society. Marissa organized a pet food drive in the past and it was such a success and helped so many people and animals that it was an obvious choice when choosing her service project. The pet food she collected will be distributed within the Humane Society where they need it most and among families who are in need. Marissa plans to continue the drive into next year and the future. Her donation of over 100 pounds of food is just a small way to say thank you to the Humane Society for speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves.
