Im going to visit my local rescue, and volunteer some of my time Big Grin (if they'll take me lol Big Grin
I dont know if it will work, as im soooooooooooooooooooooo OTT when it comes to our breed. Yes, I'll proberly have a breakdown, but I need to help, practically. I cant sit by. If i dont try, I'll never know.

Im allways thinking about them, allways talking about them. So i think its time to act on my feelings. I know I cant change it, but i can do my bit. If i can help just 1, its a start. Smile

A rescue near me has volunteers every Wednesday to walk the dogs, I dont know why a wednesday, maybe their short of staff that day. I thought I could start with that first, and see how i cope. Smile

Good for you!! Just keep it all in perspective, you can help but you won't be able to help them all, It can be a very heartbreaking place at times but it can also be a very rewarding experience. Big Grin

Have fun with it, don't think about the situation or the dogs will feel it. I've worked in kennels (all be it boarding ones) and in my moody days the dogs reacted so yeah. Have fun x

Go for it Kelly, I'm sure any rescue centre would be more than grateful for the extra helping hands you could provide. You will be making a huge difference to the lives of dogs in shelter, well done for having a go.
