Mentoring isn’t just about spending time together. It’s about learning, growing, and giving back. 🙌 Big Cherie and Little Makinley chose to volunteer side by side at Helping Hands Humane Society, showing that even small acts of service can make a BIG impact.

Cherie says, "Volunteering at Helping Hands gives Bigs and Littles the chance to bond with each other and the animals!" 🐶🐱
