Volunteering at SPCA


I just finished my frist 2-days of volunteering at SPCA.
I was assigned to clean the dog kennels.
They have a bout 30 dogs at times, most of them big mongrels, one Pom who just jumps up desperately just to get your lap to sit in, one baby Mongrel who's learning to walk, one Golden Retreaver who knows how to sit and do "shake hands.
I even saw a Japanese black-shiba, the new comer today.

It's quite a labour work, but they do this everyday, and it finished within 2 hours.
We were allowed to play with the dogs in their own kennels.
I went around and just played with them.
All of them jump up crazy when you go in.
They are all desperate for someone's attention and affection.
The Pom, "Siu Bo" wouldnt stop barking until you go to her kennel, and she just knows how to jump up to get your lap. I let her sit for about 30 mins. and she even slept.

Pure-bred ones are most likely to find their home soon, including Siu Bo and Goldie (Goldern Retrever)who are both on HOLD.

I hope all of them will find their new home where they will be loved and cared for as a family member.

I started this volunteer work primary to achieve what I planned, but now I just feel it's worth it, not because of my own achievement, but because of knowing even these 2 hours make their life a little better, kennels cleaned, some get to be walked and played.

They gave me another 2 days in Aug. in the mean time, I will call HK DOG RESCUE to see if they need any volunteer.
