Volunteer Coordinator<br />
Brittany Norair<br />
HSVB&IRC<br />
welcomes<br />
our new<br />
Volunteer<br />
Coordinator,<br />
Brittany Norair.<br />
Brittany<br />
moved here in 2001 from Cape Cod,<br />
Massachusetts.<br />
Her compassion for animals has<br />
been evident throughout her life. In<br />
2009 she became an active volunteer<br />
with several local animal rescues in<br />
<strong>Indian</strong> <strong>River</strong> <strong>County</strong>. In early 2011,<br />
Brittany became a volunteer at the<br />
<strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vero</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> and<br />
<strong>Indian</strong> <strong>River</strong> <strong>County</strong>. Within a few<br />
months <strong>of</strong> volunteering she was<br />
awarded “Volunteer <strong>of</strong> the Month”<br />
and has now joined our staff as Volunteer<br />
Coordinator.<br />
Brittany has a pit-bull mix, Thai,<br />
who she adopted at 2 ½ weeks old<br />
because he had been rejected by<br />
his mother. Although she was told<br />
he wouldn't make it, she never gave<br />
up. Now, Thai is a happy and healthy<br />
3-year-old dog. She plans to apply<br />
the same "never give up" attitude to<br />
her position with HSVB&IRC.<br />
