I called my local shelter yesterday to inquire about volunteering and they were rude.
We are new to the area and sometimes I think it's just the area we are in. Very small town filled with people that have all been here thier whole lives...and then there is us. Military and I think we just don't belong. Who knows, all I know is I wanted to help out and they were rude from the time they said hello.
When she answered the phone I said hi, I was trying to find out how to volunteer. She said we have the inmates working. So I said you don't take any outside volunteers? After a moment of silence she says with a huff who wants to volunteer...I was so done with her
And we wonder why we can't get people to help and we have to put down so many animals.
I was so excited when we moved here and found out that the shelter was right around the corner from us and that they were a no kill shelter and now it looks like we can't even help out there.
I so would love to help out, volunteer and/or foster but they make it so difficult...I really can't understand. I thought they wanted to help the animals not turn away people who want to help...
I am so angry
