Through these visits, our club is trying to improve the lives of unwanted animals.

Seven of our club members were able to make it to the visiting day in June. We were able to play with a few of the dogs and take a tour of the shelter, but that was mostly it. In August, we plan to take another trip, and take on the full volunteer experience.

Since this is our first club activity besides the meetings, we're just trying to figure out what we are passionate about. Our club has many different interests, and we're attempting to sample each of them to get a better idea of what we want to do. To start out, we wanted to volunteer. We first got in contact with a Humane Society representative to ask if there would be any available time for our group to come in and volunteer. Most of their spots were filled up, but they allowed us to come in as visitors and play with the dogs who were not likely candidates to be adopted. We made a follow up appointment for our club to come in at a different time, so we would be able to volunteer properly. (Take the training course, clean the kennels and groom the dogs/cats)
