i wanted to volunteer at my local SPCA but im not sure that i could handle it if an animal was put down while i was volunteering. when i get older i will have lots of land and i will have a no-kill animal shelter. i [B]wont[B] run out of room. i might even do as some of you guys have mentioned (foster parents), i might put an ad in the paper or something for those people who want to adopt a pet from my no-kill shelter but aren't sure how well the animal will do in their home, they can take it home for as long as they want and if they like the animal they can adopt it. i will have different types of animals (any animal that needs a no-kill shelter to come to). it doesnt matter of their size or shape (ex: horses, bears, birds, penguins, exzotic animals, house pets, ect.).
