The LIfe You SAve Might Be Your Own

Ever wondered about the people who volunteer at your local animal shelter? Who are they and what makes them give of their time to help homeless dogs live in a clean cage, have a breath of fresh air and ultimately help them find their forever homes?

Well lately I have. So I poked around a little at one of the local SPCPA shelters in the area to see who works there, why they do and what makes them come back.
Don't have the answers yet, but I do know that the cross section of humanity is fascinating: high powered attorneys rubbing elbow with bikers; small business owners scrubbing cages alongside doctors, health care workers and teachers. People with too much and people with too little all drawn together for the love of dogs.

Volunteers surely are the life blood of any of these human organizations and what makes them do what they do is fascinating, at least to me. Let me know if you think so too. There just might be a book brewing. . .
