Volunteer Shift

When I went to the shelter to volunteer, one of the first dogs that I walked was an all white husky named Mulan who was in the infirmary. Dogs that are in the infirmary at the shelter have either been transferred or surrendered and are waiting to be transferred to the main part of the shelter where they could potentially be adopted. Mulan was a very energetic little puppy and left white fur all over me. She was really playful and happy to be out on a walk instead of in her cage. I also walked a dog named Osito who was reactive with other dogs and cried a lot. I showed a dog called William to potential adopters and went on a walk with them so they could see how he acted. He was adopted later that day by the family and is in a good and loving home. I got to see some of the puppies that were just transferred but they were all sleeping. Overall it was a good shift at the shelter.

  1. It's good to know that the dogs are being adopted and in good homes. It sounds like volunteering with the SPCA is a rewarding experience. I hope we can see each other as we're walking our dogs some time since our volunteer places are right next to each other. One time, this dog named...I forgot, ran in the front entrance. It looks like a nice well kept place with a lot of people walking the dogs.
