I work at a no- kill shelter and I immensely enjoy it. If a dog is there for a long time (over a year) they try to find a foster or try and find some other option for them. Unfortunately with cats it's not the same, we have a cat that has been at the shelter it's whole life, for six years, but she has a whole room to roam in and is very loved so I dunno. It is hard because they are no kill we have to wait until animals are adopted before we take in more so we do often turn people away but we try and give them resources and help. On the whole I think most of them are doing a good thing. Maybe go visit a few shelters in your area and see how you like it. I know a lot of our volunteers love helping us and the animals out, it can be very rewarding.
