    Animal shelters not only hold animals but also save them from homes where they were beaten and starved. If ones local animal shelter went out of business, imagine all the animals that would not be rescued or saved. Thousands of dogs are beaten and starved daily, not a day goes by where an animal is not being abused in some sort of way.

Before we were able to get started on our volunteer hours we first had to sit through an orientation where we learned what all the shelter expects from us as volunteers and how to properly care and handle the animals.

Even though I have had a lot of experience I still know animals can be unpredictable

    If an animal shelter was dangerously low on supplies for their animals then someone needs to help them out. Giving donations to them would be the right thing to do.

Animals don’t

    Improving Animal Shelters I think that we should improve the animal shelters for multiple reasons. One reason for improving animal shelters is that the animals do not have enough space to run and play outside.
