I try to volunteer at an animal shelter as often as I can.  I think its important to care for animals. I didn't used to have much thought toward them but that changed as I learned more about animal cruelty.
That's great! I'd love to work at an animal shelter one day! Does your facility care for mostly dogs and cats, or do you also help sick or wounded wildlife?
Dogs, cats, some reptiles, and small animals like guinea pigs.  We were thinking of rescuing a couple guinea pigs.
I've adopted two cats from animal shelters! I try to support my local no-kill shelters, it's such a shame when an animal is put to sleep because it isn't claimed quickly enough by a new owner.
I know. I feel so sad because its not their fault that they're in that situation.  That's awesome that you adopted some cats.  I think there are animal shelters all over the nation but I'm not sure.
There definitely are! The Humane Society of the United States has locations all over the country! They're a great organization because they fight to en animal related cruelties! 
I love that.  It good to have people standing up for animals that have no voice.  What kind of cruelty does it include?  Animal Hoarding?
I'm not sure if they handle hoarding, probably on an isolated basis. Their major campaigns are animal fighting, the fur trade, wildlife abuse, puppy mills and factory farming.
