So to spend some time away from the apartment since I haven't found a job... (not that I have been looking too hard) I decided to look into volunteering at the local humane society. I went there originally to look for a puppy (which they didn't have any thats why we had to look in different towns). So they don't have kennels there with tons of dogs, but they do have (most of the time) 2 dogs there during the week. For most cases this is because they are dog aggressive and can't be put into foster homes that already have animals. So I go to the facility every afternoon to walk the dogs to the park across the street. Its greta but its been really hot and thats the hottest part of the day. They have another woman who comes in at 11am to take them on their first walk and then I can come anytime between 2 and 5.
The two dogs that I have been walking this week are very sweet. Einstein and Moe.
Einstein is a very sweet strong dog that is great with people but doesn't like any other animals. Basically he takes me for the walk steering me where he wants to go :)
Moe is a very vocal which I am assuming is probably why he hasn't been adopted out yet. He is very sweet otherwise.
It makes me feel good to get out and do something. They also have a kitty room which I haven't spent much time in but they all get along so well. They have this one white kitty with a great personality that is missing an eye! They tell me that animals missing limbs or eyes or with other disabilities tend to get adopted out faster because they have a "story" which I think is really cool.
Can't wait til Georgia is old enough to take on walks and not just drag behind us :)
