    Pasco County Animal Services in Florida recognized the need to revamp its volunteer program into one that maximized volunteer skills and filled areas of need at the shelter. This week's Best Friends Network program spotlight covers how PCAS managed risk concerns, created non-traditional roles (introducing Officer Uber) and built a team mindset between staff and volunteers.
