What do your shelters look like? I've been considering volunteering at the shared humane society/city animal shelter kennels, but with around 25 dogs in one building, that's a lot of barking. You can tell all the dogs are stressing each other out too. Is this setup the norm or do people generally go about this in better ways?

I'll probably end up volunteering at the catteries, that place is always chill.

Ran out of dogs, huh? Congratulations, that doesn't sound like it happens often. How long do you think it will take for your shelter to fill up again?

I registered to attend a volunteer orientation this wednesday at my local humane society. I have a good bit of free time nowadays so why not, right? I guess I'll get to learn how this all goes down.

That Blue is adorable, by the way.

As a volunteer at the humane society of a city of 88,000, I get exposed to basically zero animal drama. Today, though, one of my favorite cats came and sat on my lap for a while. I've never had that happen before. Usually they just sleep, run away, and occasionally can be bothered to get a treat I stuck 5 inches from their nose.

There is this one really fat cat with no tail that hates basically everything. It's all hissing, scratching, and murder stares from across the room with that one. The cat book says that she loves getting petted, likes certain other cats, and wants human attention. Yeah, right. The only way she's getting adopted is if some comically evil mob boss or global executive comes in and wants a cat as full of malice as they are. And I bet the only other cats she likes are the ones she thinks could double as a snack when no one's looking.
