The reality of the scenario is that animals at shelters will be put down if they do not find an adequate home. It is difficult in centers, as small as the researcher observed, to sustain themselves with an ever growing animal population. It is important to note that some animals are euthanized because they suffer from a severe condition.

The final question the researcher asked is whether or not they felt that volunteering actually had an impact on the community. All of the participants said yes.

The results determined that people not only feel a sense of emotional satisfaction when they volunteer, but feel it actually makes an impact. People volunteer because they actually feel like they are truly making a difference even if it 's a small one. For example, people volunteer at animal centers not because they think they can save all animals, but because they can save one
