Volunteering at a Shelter

Tweet

I was looking up shelters around me, actually hoping to find a job. But none of them had real job listings, only volunteer oppurunities....so I figured I'd just look at it, at least. There is one shelter that listed some types of volunteers they need, and one is dog walker.Basically you just get to take the dogs out and play with them. And the shelter said that they allow their volunteers just to show up when they can, and can just hang out with all the animals. That sounded pretty good to me...I mean, I was looking up jobs because my work right now is stressing me out. But now I think maybe being able to just go to a shelter and spend some time with the animals will help relieve somne of that stress. So I emailed the shelter, telling them a little about myself. So they know I work at Petsmart, and that I'm already around dogs and cats all the time. And they know I work nights, so my scedule is a little tight. I think everything will work out okay though!
