Don't be afraid of volunteering

Yesterday I was at a PetSmart helping the Arizona Humane Society with a 3 day event for the shelter animals. I was walking one of the dogs outside, around the strip mall to get him some fresh air. We walked around for a few minutes so he could relax a little. We walked back into the store, and a lady came up to me. I asked her if she is interested in adopting a pet, she said that she had followed me from the card store next door when she saw me with my volunteer shirt on and I was walking the dog. She told me she didn't want to adopt but she was interested in volunteering but she was afraid she would be too depressed to see the animals at the shelter. I told her that I had felt the same way, but now I am helping the animals and not just sitting on the couch feeling sorry for them. She thanked me for giving her a different point of view and said she is signing up for orientation! Bless all of you that help the animals!
