I don't know if you read any of the older posts in my blog at all, but I'm a HUGE advocate of WHS and humane societies in general! And actually, working at WHS would be my dream job. I just convinced friends of ours to adopt instead of getting a purebreed from a breeder.<BR/><BR/>Our dog, Libby, is also from WHS and I went through exactly the same stuff you did. So now I volunteer there! Which actually makes it harder! You really see the things you talked about in an even bigger way.<BR/><BR/>I won't say it's easy to be a volunteer there (emotionally), but it's so worth it. Although it is very hard not to take all the puppies with me at the end of a shift. <BR/><BR/>So thank you again for this post!Katherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15292390627503307728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-111902594224837661.post-4412356330425018902008-06-18T15:34:00.000-05:002008-06-18T15:34:00.000-05:00You and I must be in the same mind frame this afternoon. I got that email too and spent a few minutes on WHS's website. So sad!! I immediately called Jim and said I'm in the "I want another puppy" mood.<BR/><BR/>We adopted Bailey from the Humane Society too and I've made the vow to always get future pets from shelters. There are too many dogs that needs good loving homes.Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07204415329892149964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-111902594224837661.post-38402040134311847152008-06-18T15:31:00.000-05:002008-06-18T15:31:00.000-05:00they really do such a great job there, their work is quite rewarding. <BR/><BR/>i used to volunteer there, it was hard to leave at nite knowing so many animals needed homes, but knowing how much employees/volunteers and the community cared, made it easier.Mishyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07470010324537776303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-111902594224837661.post-82550008361120371912008-06-18T15:15:00.000-05:002008-06-18T15:15:00.000-05:00Oh my God... I cried at my desk after reading Luke's story. What a sad cute little puppy!<BR/><BR/>I love the WHS. They're so kind and caring to the animals. Some shelters would say "No, this animal's life is not worth the cost to take care of him" and be done with it. WHS always goes above and beyond and it's incredible. They give that special care to small animals too, like rabbits and hamsters!<BR/><BR/>I live near there, and I always see volunteers out walking the dogs, even on holidays. They're a worthy place to support, that's for sure.tashamorthttp://tashamort.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
