and your life will become a glorious adventure."
~ Mack Douglas ~
Last night I went for my orientation at the Dane County Humane Society. To say the least, I am impressed with this organization. Everything they do is for the benefit of the animals (and people) they serve. And they have fun doing it!
The orientation lasted 2 1/2 hours and during that time I found out about the mission and goals of the shelter, went on a tour, and heard from current volunteers. It was time well spent. After the presentation I couldn't sign up fast enough, get my picture taken and shout at the top of my lungs (to myself of course) WHEN DO I START?!!
I should be hearing from my trainer within the next few weeks to set up my schedule. I plan on starting with four hours - one day a week. My job will be 'Canine Companion' which means I'll be walking dogs and playing with them. Ruff, eh? (Get the pun? Rough=Ruff? I know I'm too funny!).
Anyway, if you've given volunteering just an inkling of a thought, I encourage you to get out there and at least experience the orientation. Who knows, maybe your life will be headed on a glorious adventure!

I love your picture with your dogs, they are so cute. Volunteering is wonderful. I had checked into and then had gotten sick. one day I will do it though, hopefully if I ever can drive again. My dog always seems to tell when I will have a Cataplexy spell. Take care and can't wait to hear how this goes for you. obviously you have a very loving heart. have a great weekend.
Wow, that is awesome! I did dog rescue from 2007-2009 with 2 differnt organizations and am starting with a local boxer rescue next week. Volunteering is good for everyone.
