That's great helping out. I volunteer at the no kill shelter every week and it is so rewarding if not heart breaking at times. The shelter I help makes sure all their animals are in the best health. I work in the animal health area updating health records and was amazed at how much they do for these babies. The shelter had full time vet techs that run many of the tests and always take the dogs and cats to vets and specialists if needed. They want to make sure the animal has the best chance of adopting to it's forever home. Any with chronic conditions are either in permanent foster homes or adopted out as special needs. Also there highest fee is 175.00 for a puppy and less for older dogs/casts and a special adoption rate for seniors. So there are good shelters out there too. I hope you have a great experience today!!! |
