| Promotion Dilemma So there is a new job opening at the shelter I work at, it is for intake and foster coordinating. I applied and have an interview Wednesday but I am conflicted about it. On one hand of course I want a promotion and a raise would be nice. I would be helping choose the dogs we rescue but I would also have to turn away a lot of animals. It would be hard to have the lives of so many animals in need in my hands....maybe I'm not ready or maybe that's not even something I ever want to do....I don't know. What do you guys think?

| Go with your heart. A small raise for a job you don't want isn't worth it. A switch to something new and exciting (if it is exciting to you) could open more doors for you. I have no idea what your long-term plans are, but this kind of experience would look realllllly good on a resume, esp. for animal business manager/veterinary practice manager.

| its not that I don't want the job. I would love to make such a difference but like lynzy pointed out I'm not sure if my heart can take it. I've turned away some people (I always take in the yorkies) but this would be everyday, I might even be the one that goes to the shelters and picks out the ones we save but also sees the ones that won't be saved. Will the good I do out way everything else? I am not sure.

| Such a nightmare decision for you! Things are so very different over here, so of course I shouldn't really be butting in.... Sorry. I was a volunteer dog walker for Battersea Dogs + Cats Home (about the biggest in our Country, tv shows etc. about it) until my back packed up and I couldn't do all the miles that were needed anymore - www.battersea.org.uk - no animal is put to sleep unless there are major medical or behavioural issues, and that's how it generally is here, throughout all of our shelters. Nobody chooses which animals are or aren't allowed in - they all are. I really, truly feel for you, and I don't know what I'd do. Good luck in your decision, Sally x |

| I agree with Ellie May and remember it's the fact that your saving babies to begin with. Although you may have to leave some behind it is more important to remember the positive of the ones are you helping. I wish you luck in your decision and although it may be hard on your heart at first maybe it will lead you to another road....that you need prepping for now. Best wishes.
