Thanks everyone. I feel it is the least I can do as all of my girls have been from breeders and I wanted to be able to do something to help. I have always donated financially to them but I met the shelter manager and volunteer manager at the Animal Emergency a few weeks ago when Cali had the HGE. They were there with a sick dog and we got to talking in the waiting room and they had tags on identifying them from Save A pet. They said they would love to have me volunteer as they are always in need of them. I finally decided yesteday to go and sign up and they did my orientation right then so I wouldn't have to go to a class and I had my training today.
This is the shelter that I donated 2 special beds to when all the wonderful people on YT collected money for e when my Mom passed away. It was so nice to see the big dogs laying on these beds off of the cold floor. So YT helped too!!!
Chandracz- The shelter is in Grayslake on Rte 60/Fairfield Rd. They are always in need of volunteers and they like you to do at least 8 hours a month. They have so many different areas to help out in. I also signed up to do vet runs and eventually become an adoption counselor. I also a going to helo with the gardening this spring. PM me if you want more info. |
