My 13 yr old daughter told me she want to volunteer at our local shelter this summer. She says she thinks it will be fun. She wants to be able to spend time with the animals and maybe walk the dogs, bath them....ect. I dont know if they let kids volunteer, I havent checked in to it yet. BUT I dont know if that would be a good thing for her to do. She LOVES animals and get attached easily. I dont know how she would be able to handle if an animal got put to sleep there. I know they do that at this shelter and Im afraid she will beg me to adopt them all...and I probably would if they were going to put an animal down.
Do any of you have any opinions on this? I'd like to hear them if you do. |
