Celebrating 28 years of service

We celebrate Gloria Daugherty’s 28th year anniversary with the Peninsula SPCA.   For 28 years, Gloria has served as a Kennel Assistant, devoting her life to the care of abandoned and homeless in her community.  Her commitment for animal welfare has always been a significant part of her life.  Gloria shared that “the animals admitted to the Peninsula SPCA, stray or owner surrender, are so grateful for a gentle pet and a calming voice while they are here, and I can show them the affection they need and deserve.”

Gloria Daugherty celebrates 28 years with the Peninsula SPCA

As a firm believer that rescued animals make the best additions to families, she shared that, “animals
that are given a second chance are so forgiving and have so much unconditional love to share with their care givers.”  Gloria found her best friend Penny, a copper 12-year-old Dachshund, 10 years ago at the Peninsula SPCA and instantly fell in love.  “It was love at first sight and I knew she had to be mine.”  During her 28 years of service, she has seen progressive and positive changes at the Peninsula SPCA.

“The best part of my job is seeing the pets I helped care for get adopted.  The adoption numbers just keep going up.”  She started as a volunteer at 21 years of age and has been a valued employee since her start date.  Gloria does not have plans of slowing down.  She looks forward to her future making a positive difference in the lives of the animals at the Peninsula SPCA.  “I just love my furry friends.”
