Humane Society

I went to the humane society today at around 1:00 pm and volunteered for two hours. Vicki and I first went to the dog kennals to walk the dogs and let them run and play around in a larger area. We took the large, three legged Saint Bernard out because we haven't took him out for a couple of weeks and he needed some attention. I feel kind of bad for him and think he should get more attention than some of the other dogs because I have noticed that the younger and prettier dogs find a good home faster than the older scruffy ones like that Saint Bernard. We went on a short walk with him and then just took him in a room to brush and pet him. After we took him back to his kennal, we took out a very nice black dog that was really easy to walk. When a person came in and saw this beautiful dog, she asked if the dog was up for adoption, and she wanted to see it. Just because we walked by with this dog, we could have possibly found it a good home and a nice family to take care of it. We then went in the toy room to play with a few cats. The cats are really funny to watch; there were many toys around but the cats went for the paper bag instead of any of the fansy toys around them. I love voluteering at the humane society. It not only makes me feel good, but it is also helping all of the animals living there find a home and people adopting find a friendly new addition to the family.
