When I first started volunteering at the shelter (and I don't even work closely with the animals) I often got tears in my eyes when animals would go home. They were happy tears.
Then there are days like yesterday. We had FOUR dogs returned in ONE day!!! I've never seen that many returned in a month! But this is how I look at it.......at least they are back at ARF where we will find them another home, hopefully the right home. One little dog came back yesterday and was adopted within two hours.
Just keep in mind they are finally getting their much deserved homes.
