I am! :o
And I know I will love every minute of it!

All 4 of my dogs are pound puppies.

I did, then realized I'd have to work with cats, I'm allergic to cats.

Congratulations. Like someone else said, I could never do it because I would be bringing them all home. I wish you many rewarding happy days ahead. :thumbup:

I got to choose if I wanted to work with cats or dogs or both. I'm alergic to some cats too, but I take singular because I am allergic to one of my own! I'll be ok, because I was in the room with them for an hour and had no problems.

i triedd to but they needed me to crawl around and clean cages. not a good match with my abilities. so now i make cat and dog blankets out of fleece and donate them to the shelter.

Yes, I walk and socialize dogs at the local SPCA. I love it! I've gotten to know pit bulls, a kind of dog I would have been scared of before, but the ones I've met are just big sweeties! Strong, yes, but adorable!
So many people ask me how I can do it - because so many cases are heartbreaking, and how can I not want to take every dog home. ( Boy, would I love to!) My answer is that if I can give one dog an extra hour out of his cage, or a loving hand to pet or brush him, he's much better off and so am I!

Ditto! and I have papers to prove it. haha yes, I make pet beds and drop off bags of food when I can and have sewn dog and kitty coats and blankets for the kennals. a real feel good cause.

My hats off to you! I wish I could.. but I can't even walk in to a shelter .. or all of them would come home with me.

Good for you. I couldn't do that because I would want to bring them all home.
