Doing good

I had orientation at Faithful Friends today, a no kill animal shelter that I will be (or I guess now officially am) volunteering at. I am so happy and psyched to be doing this. I don't feel like I've been doing much to benefit the world right now, and while helping take care of homeless dogs may be a relatively small thing, to me it feels huge and I am so glad that I am doing it. The people I've met so far seem extremely nice and the place overall just had a great vibe and energy. I've been in a bunch of shelters, and some just feel very sad and desperate and this is nothing like that. It made me feel even better about the whole thing. And I got to see Spanky again, an awesome pit/lab mix I met at an adoption event a few weeks ago.

I have another session of dog care specific training/orientation. Those are normally Wednesday evenings, but my work hours don't allow for that, so it will take some schedule adjusting to get that done. Hopefully it will be taken care of in the next week or two though and then I get to start helping. I can't wait!
