I'm a volunteer!

[CincoandDahlilasgirl]

Well it's official my mom and I are gonna be volunteers at Elmbrook Humane society! I'm so excited about doing this. But I'm also a little nervous to but then again who isn't nervous on there 1st volunteer job and mom will be there A)cuz we agreed to do this together and B)I'm a minor so I have to have a parent with me. Seeing as this is the place Cinco came from I wanna help these animals get a ;ife like Cinco has now and not the 1 he had at the 2 other places he was at and Elmbrook did alot of work on him to train him and everything. if it weren't for them cinco probably be dead by now and we'd have an unhealthy dog from a shelter close us that has filthy kennels and verry few friendly volunteers. Theres this 1 dog at EBHS that I'll get close to cuz she's been there for months now and from what I saw cuz i played with her a little bit when i was there lasttime she was the sweetest thing. heres her pic. Well she got adopted yesterday or today during scratch and dent sale but heres another girl thats been there awhile I believe her name is Jasmine

Good for you and your mom for volunteering at the shelter! I don't know if I could do it. I would want to take all the dogs home with me!

And u know what else? I have to talk to my high school counselor cuz when I volunteer I could get a collage credit for volunteering a certain amount of hours and I'm sure 8 hrs will add up quick since I'm starting out slow and working it up cuz i have school to worry about also and Drivers ed this summer.

Edited to say that the extra collage credits could really help me for the field I want to go into which is vetinary assistant.

good luck. It will be certainly very rewarding I'm sure if you keep a strong mind and not let the emotions take over. :wink:

Well we get orientated Sunday but 1 question, On the applacation theres a form that says when I take pics of the animals I have to give ebhs the rights to use them for publicity photos (i.e. petfinder listings) does this mean only if I use 1 of their cameras or even my own camera I still have to give them the pics?

BTW she also told us y Cinco had been returned there and I was thinking to myself if they wanted that kind of dog they should have went gotten an older dog and stayed away from springers! I read on his background report that he doug holes to get out of the yard when no1 was home common sence u A) relize a dog doesn't learn to not dig holes under the fence by its self B)when he's kenneled all day relize he's gonna need to go on a nice walk or a nice run in the yard while u watch him C)U don't leave a dog running loose in ur yard all day espicaly when u know he'll just dig his way out!

Sorry I needed to get that off my chest. I'm sure other adoptees have heard the adoption counselors say that this is y the were brought here or came back to us. Excuses

That is REALLY cool! 8) Especially that you could get college credits, doing something you love.. We sort of do too, but only 'cause were part of our school's animal welfare club, who volunteer every weekend.
Great piccie of Jasimine :wink: Keep us updated :)

[CincoandDahlilasgirl]
