Volunteers of the Season: Spring 2019

Meet Foster Superstars, Kathy & Scott Lambeth

Scott & Kathy Lambeth and their pack

Triad Golden Retriever Rescue likes to make sure our volunteers know how much they mean to our organization and, more importantly, to all of our dogs. This is why we nominate volunteers each season who have gone above and beyond. This season's superstars are Kathy and Scott Lambeth! The Lambeth’s may have only been with TGRR for 8 months but their impact has been astronomical! The tireless and kind-hearted effort they put into everything they do does not go unnoticed. To see two people love not only dogs, but an organization so much, is inspiring! To get to know the Lambeth's a little better, and to hear about their experience so far, we asked them a few questions:

How did you learn about getting involved? We have always thought about starting or assisting a rescue. We attended a "Meet and Greet" and Faye (TGRR President) told us more about fostering/ transportWhy did you choose to get involved? We love dogs and have always wanted to help dogs in need. TGRR gave us the opportunity to fulfill our desire to help those dogs!How long have you been with TGRR? About 8 monthsWhich role is your favorite? Fostering but we would like to expand to pick ups if our work schedule permits. We have enjoyed learning so much about what takes place in finding a good match for a dog and its new owner.What has been the most rewarding part of being with TGRR? Watching the dogs transform and go to a new loving home. Hearing about how the dogs are settling into the new home, their forever home!Any specific stories stand out in your mind? Each dog has its own personality and being a foster parent allows us to watch that personality come to life. The joy of seeing a dog that doesn't play with toys just start playing one day.

What would you say to someone considering becoming a volunteer with TGRR?  The TGRR group of people are great. All you need is a love for dogs, a little patience and you will receive far more than you ever give from these wonderful pups.
