My son and I volunteered at our local Humane Soc. We gave baths and walked the dogs, played with the puppies, did laundry, cleaned kennels. We "wish" we could have volunteered more, but it is just too heartbreaking when leaving for home and watching them take them to the "room". It was hard for my 15 year old son too, to come home so broken hearted and depressed every time we volunteered. It is so hard to see the look in their eyes. You walk in and they look so hopeful, you walk out and well, the tears are falling, so you can imagine without me going into detail. Now, we mostly donate things they need. It takes very special people to do the jobs they do.
