But yeah, I went there for a volunteer orientation not too long ago since I wanted to start doing some volunteering. I can't do paid work here in the U.S (only my husband has a work permit) so volunteering would be great for me to get out of the apartment.

I don't think I'll work directly with the animals (even though I'd love to!) since they seem to have plenty of help for that at the moment. Maybe later though. Their thrift store apparently needs volunteers badly however, so I'm going to focus on getting started there first and see how I'll like that. The profits from the thrift store go directly to the shelter so even if I wouldn't be in direct contact with animals that is still a good way to help them out. And I must admit I personally have always had an affinity for thrift stores
You know, I've never been to the thrift store. I was working in the boutique there on site for the past 3 years. But I am now going to change my position and work in the adoptions area. My goal is to become an adoption counselor, but that will take some years. They might even be looking for people in the boutique store. Because I know several people recently stopped working in there. It's fun because you get to see the dogs when they are adopted and help the people find the right collar, leash and toys for their new pet.
