Animal shelter

Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that dog, their world is changed forever. Many people looking to acquire a new pet for their household generally have an idea on what type, breed, color, age, or temperament they want in their animal. The most common is people, when looking for a new dog, want a specific breed, such as a Pomeranian or Mastiff. I had been the same way when my family and I started looking for a new dog, initially we looked at Great Danes, then German…

In both of these statements we see the issue of a dog park being build for dogs and their owners in a large city. In the first statement, we see that the owner of the dog, Gizmo, believes a park should be build in the city so her dog has a place to run and play. In the second statement, we see that the writer does not own a dog and believes that the building of a dog park would not be benefit the city. A dog park is a wonderful idea in any large city, where there is a lot of people, vehicles,…

made in the past period. Leydi said that nothing was better, that she cried at night because she was really tired of being held in this shelter against her will. She also said that was “the federales” (ORR) fault. This counselor examine with Leidy how true was that statement and brought up some of her past decisions that were the reason why her stay in the shelter was extended. After discussing the idea for a while she admitted some responsibility in the matter. o Counselor used screening…

turn out the way he had planned in his head or if it let down his expectations he would have been crushed. McCandless had no support system like Shepard who had the shelter. Shepard used the shelter as a home and a base for his operations unlike McCandless who like it showed in Into the Wild who could not even last one night in a shelter. This truly showed how detached from society McCandless was. McCandless’s detachment also shows how much he had to lose because imagine living on your own in…

have started. I participated in a Residential Emergency Shelter Check In on Thursday, September 15th with a client who had not had any previous contact with the agency. The client, Amy*, had recently been in abusive situation with her boyfriend and was seeking out a safe place to stay. The client completed the intake with a volunteer over the phone and was approved for shelter by an approval staff member. The client arrived at the shelter later that day. Upon her arrival, I asked if she had…

(502). Throughout Wuthnow?s essay, he states that Americans are complaining about working too much and not having enough time to relax; for those reasons, I believe that spare time is a crucial part of my American Dream. Most people who spend a majority of their day working are not truly happy; they wish they had just a little more time to relax and be with their spouses and children. It seems as if now more than ever we have less time to relax: ?Despite the fact that leisure time is less…

at the Crisis Center I was kept pretty busy. The shelter went from being full to having openings several times. I did a few shelter intakes, but only one of the clients actually checked into the shelter. It is a bit discouraging to have clients not show up after completing an intake, but it cannot be taken personally because I do not completely know their situation. I also was able to complete three Life Surveys with the clients in the shelter this past week. This past week, particularly…

I have owned a total of four dogs and two cats in my short eighteen years of life. To say the least, I’ve always loved animals, specifically dogs. They’re fun loving, easily excitable creatures who bring out the best in all of us. Unfortunately, many of them are without families living in pounds and worst, some are living in abusive homes.
