Moosmom I can see how this can get in your blood! It's emotional and yet so rewarding at the same time! I'm just so glad that it is a good shelter with good people.
One of the paid employees who does all the medicating drives 53 miles (one way) for $6.50 an hour. She comes in around noon and usually doesn't head home until around 9:00pm. She adores the animals.
There is another girl who just became a paid employee and she drives 60 miles (one way) four days a week. She was a volunteer adoption agent. She still is but has added duties at the shelter now.
They come so far because they love the animals and they wanted to help in a no kill facility.
They both drove these distances for a very long time as volunteers. I admire their dedication!!
