What a beautiful thing to do! Now, cheerleading might be a challenge.. LOL
God Bless You Lynzy!

Wow! You did good! I couldn't work there either. They would all come home with me. Poor babies.

Good for you, volunteering at a shelter is one of the most rewarding ways a animal lover can spend their time.

As many of you know I Volunteer at Atlanta Pet Rescue (www.AltantaPetRescue.org). In the time I have been there I have learned so much about dogs, cats and the people who come in to adopt.

I spend almost every Saturday morning training new Volunteers on the many aspects to running a Volunteer based rescue including everything from deep cleaning the shelter to the organizing the Volunteer dog walkers. Every Sunday is spent as an Adoption Counselor, which as great as it sounds (and it is) is also very difficult because there are times you have to say "no".

Lynzy, I encourage you and anyone else interested in volunteering to do so. As much as I thought I would want to take everyone home I get as much gratification from seeing the dogs and cats going to a loving home. I have had everyone from Widows and Widowers to a 12 year old girl who's parents have decided they are "ready" cry with joy and hug me as they are walking out the door with their new family member.

I truly LOVE the people who are repeat adopters, after a few months they come back for another new family member - and believe me this happens a lot.

That's awesome Lynzy! What a gift to be able to do what you did and sounds like you are continuing to do! Can't wait for the update from your most recent visit there.

Wow that was wonderful that you helped. I am like you. I would cry. One of the rescues wanted me to foster. I just couldn't. I would have a bunch of foster failures. lol. You did a good thing and should be proud of yourself.

Good luck on your job interview. I hope you got the job.
