I'm volunteering for the first time!

Thanks ladies! I honestly cannot afford to bring any home. And, yes, knowing that they will always be there until someone adopts them is a good thing. I honestly do not think I could volunteer at the local SPCA as much as I would love to work with the doggies too.

I'll keep you posted.

I used to volunteer at the SPCA all the time and loved socializing Cats and Kittens, and walking Dogs and Puppies who had never known a kind voice or a pat on the head.
Now it is two bus trips and almost a mile to the local shelter so I have not gone in a while
Maybe it is just as well as I would want to take all those sad little faces home to My Hotel.
Good Luck with your volunteering and please take lots of Photos so the people in your area call fall in love and take a new friend home!!

Congratulations and good luck! I know it'll have hard days and great days, just remember you're helping!

That's great, Helen! It's wonderful that you'll be volunteering at a no-kill shelter. Our local shelter is an open-admissions shelter (they euthanize), which is the real downside of my volunteer experience there. It will be nice for you to work in a shelter where every animal has a chance to be adopted into a forever home. You have a good start already as far as fitting in and doing a good job...you have your own furry family and a positive attitude You will be an asset to the shelter! Have fun and let us know how it goes

Congrats!!! I'm sure you'll love it and it'll be a very rewarding experience. Some day, when I have more time on my hands, I'd love to do this too.

Congratulations, Helen! That's wonderful. Well done!

You will love them (cats and people there) and they will love you!
