MOM DOG TRUTHS!!!
So lately I have been volunteering my time at LC4 Lucas county canine care and control this place is known for taking in strays and other dogs who have been surrendered. Most dogs that come in are malnourished and skinny, some are puppies, some are seniors, usually I just walk the dogs or take them to the play yard if they are too rambunctious. during the encounter yesterday, I met a black lab cocker spaniel puppy, he's a male and now he lives in my home his name is Jarjar Binx, I've always said I love my dogs like I love kids!!
the are my furry kids, I also have 3 pits, 2 rescued from the above mentioned LC4, lance and princess, and an American bully Pitbull breed , his name is Romeo!
I have met so many dogs there, I have a favorite walker his name is Pierre, but I have to be fair to everyone, and treat them the same.
the definition of volunteering, a person who freely offers to take part in an enterprise or task.
sometimes they are concerned about compassion fatigue. they gave us a whole presentation and paper on recognizing it and how to cope with it!!
I am committed to 10 hours a week for walking dogs I usually go when the kids are in school so I can take my time and really get to know the dogs, some of them get adopted and some of them go into foster for 2 weeks then those people can decide to adopt them if they fit in with their family.
I really enjoy doing this it helps me with some things I am struggling with mentally, it makes me feel like I have a purpose again.
