Today was the volunteering event at the local Animal Shelter (done through my job) and it was fun and interesting
There were about 20+ of us and they only expected about 5-10, so they had to find lots for us to do
One girl I work with and I folded a bunch of towels and blankets but while we waited for the ones in the dryer to dry we wandered around. We found the cages with soooo many cute puppies and dogs, one of which I wanted to steal. He was a very calm and sweet little puppy and I wanted to steal him
At one point we were looking through a door with a glass window in it and one of the vet techs told us we could go in to watch, oh boy. Turns out one of the vet techs was neutering a kitty. She was explaining everything as she did and we both had a shocked look on our face since we didn’t know that was what we’d be walking in to
It was interesting to see though to say the least haha.
After being there for about 2 hours we went to the local park to grill yummy burgers and hot dogs and just relax and have fun. Played some frisbee, attempted to play badminton, and some weird game involving a ball and a plastic funnel looking throwing thing … I forget the name of it. Overall I had a nice day
Oh how I wish I could have adopted all of those pets there! They said 11,000+ come in the shelter a year and only 9,000 or so find a home. So sad.

Ohhh I used to volunteer at the humane society and it was soooo hard to go home every day and leave all those pets there! Pretty cool that you got to see the neutering, lol.. that reminds me of an episode of ‘Pitbulls and Parolees’ where one of the guy has to watch a dog get neutered. He walks out of the mobile clinic and one of the girls asks if he’s learned anything.. and he goes “I learned how to squeeze a testicle out of a scrotum..” haha sooo gross.
