I can second Tasha's feelings about getting involved...if you ever wanted to feel needed and loved by 100+ homeless animals, this is the place to come. I am constantly amazed by the quality and compassion in these wonderful animals. Even though they are in a room with another 100+ other barking animals, most of them are loving and forgiving....and smart! Besides walking them, a side effect will be getting to know all their personalities and that will enable you to help get them adopted faster. You can spread the word on facebook and through other networks by describing their personalities and traits to your world...it truly works. I help our volunteer professional photographer take all the new dogs photos each week, so i get to see almost every dog in the shelter as they are brought out for their photos. I love meeting each one of them...some are so shy that they are afraid to walk outside on their own...but we take our time and work with each one at their own pace. No better feeling than to give a puppy the confidence to come outside and enjoy the day for a bit. They almost always go back to their kennel happier and i make sure they know they are loved. I always whisper to them and say we are working on a rescue plan. I swear they understand as i usually see a tail wagging..or get a kiss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
