Today I went to the Anti-Cruelty Society to get “trained” for the Dog Adopts program.
Basically, my job will be to take the dogs out to walk and also help the people who are coming in to adopt them.
I am so looking forward to this. As I told Carrie when she picked me up “I’m going to come here every day”. Actually, I don’t think that will be the case, but I’m sure I’ll do it at least once a week.
There were three of us in my training group, and we each took out a dog. I think, since I was the only boy, the trainer had me take out this Rottweiler mix named Rock. He was SO FREAKIN’ SWEET…but really slobbery. Rotts crack me up, with their giant heads. He was the nicest dog ever though.
I also saw a beagle mix get adopted today. She was a calm, but stressed out, four year old dog. The couple who adopted her seemed really nice. I think that things like that are going to make volunteering at the ACS a really awesome experience.
Oh, and I lost three pounds this week. w00t.
