I would love to volunteer at an animal shelter where stray, lost and abandoned dogs and cats are kept until they are rehabilitated or adopted.
that's very cool and admirable, I have contemplated doing the same.
I could only work at a no kill shelter because I could not handle the euthanizing of healthy animals because they were claimed.
Yes I don't think I would be able to either there are so many animals that need our help
A true no-kill shelter does not kill healthy or treatable animals even if the shelter is full. They only euthanize terminally ill animals or those that are dangerous.
That is very good, are there a lot of them in the US?
I don't know the number of no-kill shelters but I know that at least 90% of the animals that come into the shelter are usually saved.
Wow that is a very big number I was not expecting it to be that high!
Yes! They use many strategies to promote shelter animals with volunteers, housing, and medical protocols. They are working to lower the number of homeless animals entering the system.
That's good, people abuse animals so much that this is doing some good in the world.
