Today I began my voleenter work at the local humane society. For my first day there i decided i'd take some dogs out for a walk. I was there for 3 hours and I walked 6 dogs. one every 1/2 hour, that way they got a decent walk. Choosing 6 dogs out of the 30 that are up for adoption was the hardest decision to make. My heart broke when i was walking past all the cages. all the dogs were barking and jumping around their cages except for a tri-coloured beagle in cage 18. he was laying in the far right corner of his cage, resting his head on his paws. He was the first one i walked, he is the sweetest dog ever! I think he was abused because he is really shy. I had to walk really slow, and i talked to him the whole time. He didn't have a name so i called him Buddy. The lady at the front desk said that he was abandoned there, then he got adopted, and then he was abandoned there again

I could have stayed there forever and the dogs all loved the attention. The 6 dogs i walked all had the time of their lives. I walked them, played with them, rubbed their tummies, gave them treats, and brushed them. As upsetting as it is there, its the best job ever. I did it in some rain today, and i plan to do it all winter too.
