Saw their latest commercial with the abused animals, and they definitely suckered me in. Got a dog at home and love the damn thing to death, so i figured i may as well sign up and help out those other ones that don't feel that same love.

    Oh my god, I am the biggest sucker when it comes to adopting animals. (mainly cats)...

    This I will have to consider!

    I volunteer at our local shelter, so thank you. :) We actually took in several dogs from Katrina. All are healthy now and in happy adoptive families.

    Hubby and I gave to the Maui Humane Society while we were there....then I got on their website and bought a hoodie and a bunch of their calendars! I met a bunch of dogs over there and we missed our pooches, so we gave....and I believe in giving back when you visit another place....(also joined the Surfrider Foundation)...

    And of course, there were all the awesome pit members who sponsored me for the SPCA walkathon in my own community!!! Thanks again!!

    I think it's awesome that so many of us do what we can to help those who cannot speak for themselves...

    Hey, that's cool! I used to know someone who worked at the Maui HS. In fact she may still volunteer there, I've just kind of lost touch with her. She gave us a tour though when we visited quite a few years ago now. It was a nice facility. :)

    Long story. I started out walking dogs, but that didn't last long as I started dreaming about them and couldn't handle it. Wanted to bring them all home. I'm just not cut out for working with the animals, although there are so many dedicated volunteers who are! Then I volunteered in our thrift store. Then when the bookkeeper was leaving, she called me because I had offered my help as I am a semi-retired accountant. So...I have been doing all of the accounting since 2000. :) The shelters so need volunteers in every area, but the problem is that they are so short handed that there often isn't someone to organize them. If you want to volunteer, just be ready to be ignored at first, sad but true, but keep at it and try different things and once they see you are serious you will be overwhelmed! :) Good luck.

    walking the doggies is EXXXACTLY what i wanna volunteer for. But, like you, i KNOW i will want to bring them home. I just feel like i want to do this becuz, since my doggie died a few months ago, i feel SO empty like CRAZY. I know i cant get another doggie yet so i wanted to volunteer. I didnt know if that was allowed though. And if i can even take seeing what goes on there daily. ugh. but thanks so much.
