That would be dangerous for me. LOL Are you ever going to have the stories to share! Good luck and best wishes. The animals are going to love you for it.

Well, we just got back from the orentation and it went great!! The lady was really excited to see me and my friend Alexa getting involved so young at the shelter. We signed up for a Cat socialization meeting this Sunday and the Dog walking meeting NEXT saturday!

Oh, and guess who signed up for fostering kittens and puppies?

You guessed it, my mom!! Me and my sister talked her into it. Oh and guess who's going to be a FOSTER FAILURE?

We are very excited. We don't get the puppies till January though, but that's okay. We have them for about ten days but love will develope, trust me.

omg how exciting, Alyssa!! I'm thrilled for you! I've always wanted to volunteer at the shelter near our area, but it's just way too far.
I hope this foster failure thing works out for you!

Woo Hoo!! I can't wait to see puppies!!!

You are going to have so much fun doing this. I absolutely LOVE it. In fact, this weekend I'm not sceduled to volunteer but I'm thinking I'm going to go down and hang out anyway. But that will depend on how Taz is doing.

Yeesh. I must have a heart of stone. I never caved or even attempted to cave EXCEPT when that one, lone, purebred female dobie landed herself at our shelter (it's basically the city pound). I don't know if everybody knows the story, but I tried to adopt her but somebody took her the day before. Sigh. And then I found Ivy

I don't know. I think you get desensitized to it all after awhile

Or maybe I just have a heart of stone. Have fun!!!! I love volunteering because it gives me the chance to work with a wide variety of dogs w/ behavioral issues, and all that experience makes me a much better owner/trainer for Ivy.
