Meet Volunteer - Lila McLean

My name is Lila McLean.   My husband, Neil, and I have

been wintering in Mazatlan since 2008.  We spend our summers at our home in Vernon, B.C.   Our first year here, I saw an ad for Bruno, the dog trainer, and called him to enquire about volunteering.  He brought me over to the shelter and I have been coming ever since.

I generally walk dogs one afternoon a week and work in the Bazaar one day a week, but am always available for extra shifts,  events or helping out at busy times.   Getting the dogs out of their cages for even a short walk gives me a chance to get to know each of them and they soon become friends.  This past year I have spent a bit more time with the cats and plan to increase that next year.  They all seem to love the attention and so little of my time seems to make such a big difference to them. Another great benefit to me of volunteering at the shelter is the many friends I have met there.

During my time at the shelter I have seen many improvements – it is cleaner, brighter, friendlier,  better organized and  now with the new roof, much more comfortable for the animals.  I hope this trend of improvement can continue with staff, donors and volunteers all contributing.

Before my days were involved with dogs and cats, I battled the bulls and bears of Bay and Wall Streets.  I  spent most of my working years in the brokerage  business in a variety of jobs.
 
In Mexico, we really enjoy exploring new areas and trying all the interesting places to eat.  Besides volunteering at the shelter,  I play bridge, swim, run, read, hike if I get the chance and generally like to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather.
