I saw most of the 300 rescues that have came in. Let me tell ya', it was heartbreaking but positive to see all of the wonderful caring people helping.
There are Yorkies, Westies, Shih Tzu's, Shar Pei's, some really cute mixes-they looked like either pugs/yorkies or pickenese/yorkies.
There are about 15,000 applicants alone just for the Yorkies........... it is CRAZY but Great! I think they are $300.
I reside over an hour each way to the shelter in Illinois. I spent 6 hours there.
Please contact them & fill out the liability waiver & volunteer even just 4 hours if you can.......... please!

That is sooo cool that you are helping out!!! I live less than one mile from one of the county branches of the Humane Soc and I dropped by to ask about volunteering. They told me the March 7th orientation class for volunteers was full and I had to go to the Apr 9th class. They told me you can't volunteer without going to this class. :-( I wanted to just hold the puppies and calm them but they said you can't until you attend oritentation. I'm thinking it is a good thing so volunteers will be aware of the risks, liability, etc. but I was sooo disappointed. I didn't go see the yorkie puppies because I just couldn't do it right then. I ran into a lady in Petco who applied to adopt one of them and she said the fee is $300.
