Post #2

After a few different calls and emails sent this week, I found two new leads for places that may need my unpaid assistance!  I emailed the nearby children’s day care center located right next to my dorm. I also talked to one of my good friends who completes a lot of service hours at the Humane Society in town.  The first one (the day care) said that although they would love to have an extra pair of hands to help, they would have to complete a somewhat extensive background check and it would be more complicated than it’s worth because of all the paperwork necessary to get me a few hours of service.  Even though that will not work, the Humane Society was more promising!  They said they could definitely use hands or supplies or any service.  It may be an issue since I am mildly allergic to dogs, but that still didn’t stop my family from having a golden retriever for 12 years!  I’ll be fine for a few hours.  J   I am thinking I will go there for at least part of the hours, if not all of them.  Instead of just going and giving my time, I think it would be good to bring some of my own materials, too.  On the web site and in my past help with the humane society in my home town, it was really helpful for then when we could bring our own paper towels and other items.  I’m looking forward to working with the animals!
