THE DAVEY BULLETIN
Julie Kline, landscape crew leader, Cleveland East territory,
volunteers to transport dogs to rescuers, adopters, and
foster homes. She does this through a public Facebook
group called the UnderBoneRailroad, a volunteer network
of animal transporters from all over the country.
Transport through the UnderBoneRailroad is done in a
chain, with volunteers offering to drive the dogs for a leg
of their journey to their destination. Kline volunteers to be
a transporter several times a month.
Being part of this network has allowed Kline to make great
friends and create connections with people she would
have otherwise never met. She's also gained a few furry
members of her family through her volunteer work.
"If you have the time to get involved, I highly recommend it,"
Kline said. "It breaks your heart knowing the circumstances
some of these dogs were in, but it's rewarding to be part
of their journey to finding their forever homes."

Some of the dogs are rescued from terrible situations. Kline said it's
amazing how these dogs know they are there to help them and the
peace that comes over them when they know they are safe.
DAVEY PEOPLE
Chris Deathe, market manager, coordinated a team-building
paintball event with his Hamilton, Burlington, Niagara and
Brantford, Ontario Residential operations. Deathe also invited
the local Ontario West Utility employees to join the fun.
This team-building event was an opportunity for employees
PAINTBALL AND TEAM BUILDING
to build relationships outside of their office and recognize
that they are part of a larger Davey family.
"This united us as a community," Deathe said. "That was
a comment we heard often from the employees throughout
the day."
