Volunteer Hours Short Story

Volunteer Hours Today Jenna and I volunteered at the Oxford-Lafayette Humane Society. We spent three hours walking the dogs and playing with the kittens. At first I was hesitant to spend three hours at the humane society, but the time went by faster than I had assumed.

There was this one older dog snuggled up in the back of the kennel, it had the most depressing look on its face and all I wanted to do was hug it but, the manager told us it was sick and instructed us not to touch it. I was a little upset about the sick dog until a wild little dog ran inside and jumped all over me. The manager told us that the dog had been here for quite awhile and that he really needed some play time; he never told us the name so Jenna and I decided to name him Maurice.

As soon as I walked in the cat room I was met with the tinniest black kitten I have ever seen. I picked it up only to realize it and the other kittens it was around, had colds. It was obvious the kittens did not feel well so I did the best I could to give them all attention and make them feel loved. I was so distracted by all the kittens that I ended up staying in the room for almost an hour. I became so attached to one kitten that I text my roommate asking how I would be able to sneak it into my dorm
