| - I generally do not like to visit shelters, kennels, pounds, or even pet stores. It always seems there are so many pets that need a forever home and I simply can't take everyone home with me. I always feel low for days thinking about Spike or Buster, Blackie or Nickie . . . who all need someone to feed, love and play with them. Someone to take them out of the misery they have found themselves in. Someone to take them on daily walks, or let them snuggle under the covers when it is cold outside.
I was worried when I said I would volunteer at the Arizona Humane Society that I would have trouble keeping my spirits up for awhile after going there. The staff and volunteers always do the best they can under the circumstances, but with limited resources it is always difficult to really make a difference.
But after visiting & volunteering at the Arizona Humane Society I know there are people in Arizona who do care, who are willing to put their time and money into helping the lost souls who are just looking for someone to love them. The Arizona Humane Society is a beautiful facility where animals are cared for with big & generous hearts. It is clean and well maintained, with places for critters to run and play and meet prospective new parents. It is a place where you can go and give some time, even if you can't take a pet home. But, be careful, there are sweet faces, sad faces, faces excited to see you, faces of little souls who just want someone to love them. You will fall in love . . . with someone who will love you back with all their soul!
