At the Shelter

I did my first pre-opening shift at the shelter at the weekend and it was so rewarding:). When I got there, the dogs were barking and desperate to get outside. I worked with a really lovely and very experienced volunteer and together we managed to get as many dogs as possible exercised, cuddled and quietened down in time for opening. I learned a lot from her and the dogs I got to interact with were all completely delightful. - it's so hard sometimes to understand how they got there...

I know that for most people the shelter is a sad place but when I go I feel like I can actually make a difference, albeit a small one. And that makes me really happy :).
