I thought you guys would like to know that Wolfie and I are volunteering at a animal shelter. And I get to work with my new little buddy, Lucky.



I hope I'll get to adopt him! :D

Ooh, congrats! :D Hope you enjoy it, Brachi. Volunteering will be excellent for a first start at animal care and experience. Great thing to do. :))

fun! I volunteered at a shelter once upon a time... my job was to pet and hold the cats... the kittens were really handfulls! After handling the cats from each cage (usually one, occasionally several kittens), you'd have to thoroughly wash your arms and apron... which left you feeling very hygenic afterwards, but the cats were really great. I liked Cooper best :) He was a ginger tabby with chocolate ticked fur :)

So I assme you're fostering dogs?

Oh, that's great news! I'm hoping to work at my local wildlife park for work experience so if I like it I might volunteer there too :D

sounds like fun! im going back to volunteer at the columbus zoo again this year there seems to be a more in-depth training program this year so maybe more responsability and animal interaction?

To Superlion: We're not fostering. We take the dogs on walks and play with the puppies most of the time.

I want to take every one of those little dogs home! (Well...except for Jagger. She was a handful!) And, yes, the puppy, Lucky, that Brachi mentioned was the sweetest dog there. :)
I have no signature. ;)

:luv: Lucky is awesome.

I hope to get to work with other dogs too. I can't wait until this weekend! :D
I wish I could take all of the dogs home. Wolfie thinks Jagger is a handful because she couldn't keep up with her. XD
