A hoarding person. And I went to my local shelter to volunteer. I couldn't do that either. I was a mess when I left there. Only thing I can do for the shelter is keep collecting things to donate to them. I go to house sales and buy lots of towels and throw rugs, things like that. I guess I am just too emotional a person to see the pain in those doggy eyes, kills me. I'd love to poke the eyes out of the people who bring them in. Don't get me wrong, some are valid. But not the stupid excuse ones, bigger than I thought, or we thought he would be easier to handle, yada yada. Have they no damn idea that the dog looks at them as his family and that they just threw him away? OMG I have to stop typing. I get emotional and angry at the same time. You are very VERY special people. God Bless you. |
Fostering is not for everyone...neither is working in shelters! I SO admire people who can work in shelters....I would be a mess. There is no way I could do that, but it is a job that must be done. It takes lots of different things to help the pups. What you do is wonderful! I am so sure the shelter appreciates your help!
