Shelter Volunteering
I do think that I will continue to volunteer at the shelter since I finally filled out the paper work and I am officially a volunteer; now all I need is the official t-shirt! Instead of taking the pictures, however, I hope that I can be a dog walker. Taking pictures while the dogs are walking is my favorite part of the shelter experience. To see the dogs get so excited and to finally see some sunlight makes me so happy. I want to be the one that has the one on one time with them. I feel bad having to point a large camera at their face all the time. I will feel like I am directly helping by actually interacting with the dogs. I hope once this class is over and school settles down a bit I can go on a better schedule. Right now with work and school I am a bit overwhelmed but soon I will have more free time. At the Durham Animal Shelter, once you sign up to be a volunteer, you are required to give multiple months. Since I am officially a volunteer, I plan to do the same. I do not have a picture yet but I will post one tomorrow!!

That's great that you will continue to volunteer; good for you. Great job capturing the catch-lights!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with the whole taking a break from photos thing! I too want to continue and be a dog walker for a while!
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I am excited for you to begin volunteering. I wish I had the time to give these friendly little guys. Have Fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful image. It is good to see the dogs outside. They don't get out often enough. I know what you mean about time constraints. I am frequently wishing for more hours in the day. I have loved my time at the shelter as well and hope to spend more there.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant photo. The eye level and slight head tilt express a quality of curiosity and loving nature.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to hear you will continue as a dog walker!
