Sam Caricato might just seem like your regular Joe from Pueblo, Colorado, but he's decided to quickly give back to his furry friends at Arlington Animal Services. Caricato, a spirited volunteer, dedicates a whopping 12 to 15 hours each week to care for animals in need. In a recent feature published by Arlington Animal Services, he shared insights into his world both in and out of volunteering, as per the City of Arlington, Texas.
When not humming to the tunes of Celtic music or losing himself in the pages of "The Priory of the Orange Tree," Caricato is chiseling away in his workshop or reminiscing about sunny days in Destin, Florida. His heart lies with the beagles, but no reality show drama seems to catch his interest, labeling them as "Boring, don’t watch." It's this grounded nature that allows him to find joy in the simple truth that work at the animal shelter is about "Learning new skills and working with people who share the same passion and interest", according to the City of Arlington, Texas.
It might be his carpenter's precision that drives his dedication to animal welfare or perhaps it's the wisdom in his favorite Gandhi quote that "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." His commitment is unwavering. Caricato finds it "heartwarming when they are adopted", cherishing the moments when animals find their forever homes, a statement he shared with Arlington Animal Services. It's a testament to the ethos he lives by, one where benevolence is measured in moments of quiet dedication to creatures great and small, per the City of Arlington, Texas.
