Finally visited the Humane Society
I finally got to visit the Randolph County Humane Society for the first time. I met the president and the vice-president. They were very nice and welcoming and willing to do whatever they could for me for my paper. They vented about some of the people that come there to try to adopt animals and some of the people that drop animals off. They let me take pictures of the shelter and I even got to play with some kittens. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot of things about the shelter that I didn't know. More dogs brought to them are transported to other no-kill animal shleters than adopted straight from the shelter. They are no longer accepting cats. They have almost no room for them to be taken in and have a dream to build on the their shelter and make more room for them. I even supported the shelter by buying a hoodie with the profit going towards the shelter.

sounds like you had a good time! they must get alot of cats since they have no room at this time, it's great that they want to add on to their shelter, they could deffentley use all the room they can get. supporting the cause is good too! glad you had a productive day!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great place to adopt a dog. I might just have to go check that place out.
ReplyDeletenow isnt that nice of you! i wish i had time to make it there!
ReplyDeleteThat's really great! It must have been really exciting and a relief to finally be able to get to your site. I think that it is really cool that they sell hoodies for a fund raiser. Do they have a list of other shelters where they send the animals that they can't keep? Even though the shelter is no longer accepting kittens, do they actually turn them away or do they send them off to another shelter? I am really looking forward to reading your paper.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling of finally getting to the site and spending some time. It is hard to get done but until you get it done you have it on the back of your mind “I have to get that done”. I think that is worse then not getting to the site, having the thought always on the back of your mind that is. I guess I am not the only person that does not like kittens if the shelter is all full. That could be the case or that kittens produce multiple kittens when they have babies. I have one cat and I just do not like him because he goes to the bathroom in the flowers beds!
