Volunteering at Rocket Dog Rescue

December 6, 2016

Today it rained. The weather was unlike it was the last few times we were here, and I was curious to see the set-up of the adoption event when it came to this weather. All me and my partner knew was, it wasn't cancelled. The set up was...odd to say the best. At the back of the store, there was a shabby encompassing of an assortment of cages. 

It was...uninviting and smelled strongly of wet dog. But, what can you do? It IS wet dog. Before the event started, my partner and I went to get a nice warm drink to fend off the weather. Hot cocoa, thy savior is thee. There were too many volunteers for the small amount of dogs, so labor was...minimal to say at best.

The day was slow, and the weather really brought the mood down.

On another note, one of the dogs I was handling had a messy infection that caused his stools to be bloody.
I immediately contacted one of the seniors and they quickly cleaned it up. The blood can be dangerous for dogs and can spread infection.

Today wasn't as pretty as some, but it was quite calm. Which is a nice break from the loudness.

We left early.
