I've been doing the accounting for our local shelter since 2000. I was originally just volunteering at our "store" which has new, used and consigned items for sale-the proceeds of which all go the our shelter. The bookkeeper was leaving and knew that accounting was my original profession, so asked if I would step in and take over in the interim and I said sure. Here I am 7 years later-lol. I really do enjoy it though and I figure I'm saving a salary that can be used to feed and shelter many worthy animals.

that is awesome

Thanks, but seriously, people need to realize that little things they can do make such a big difference. Just dropping off old towels and blankets can mean that a dog or cat has something to cozy up to. It really is heartwarming to see the new animals come into the shelter and have some feeling on a home.

I've been taking advantage of these guys so many times in my role at work, I'm starting to feel guilty about not giving them a regular donation.

chi those are awesome. I was looking for something like the literacy one. The hungerstrike and the childhealth are definetely ones I will look at in depth. I dont do enough for animals or the rainforest, so I really need to get involved with that as well. Ive done some rainforest stuff, but not too much for animals. :(


thanks again.
