Dog Rescue

 Today was an easy day at the shelter. Since I already have most of my hours I only went for the morning shift. We cleaned out the cages today but since there were not many dogs this time it was easy. After cleaning out the cage we mopped all of the floors in the shelter. After this, I prepared the food for the dogs and brought it around. It's funny to feed them because they get very excited and send the food flying everywhere. once this was done all we had to do was take out the trash which was also easy.  3 hours, May 22, 11:3 0

  Reflection Two Kellen Healey May 20th 3:45 This week was better than the last as I was more prepared for what to expect. However, there were still some surprises. As I came into the shelter I checked in on all the dogs as usual. As I went around the corner and entered the room where the pregnant dog was, there was a girl on the ground taking care of her. As I got closer I noticed the dog was giving birth in the shelter. This was the first time I had seen puppies that young and it was really cool to see her taking care of them.  As well as seeing the pregnant dog give birth I went out and got water for the employees and dog treats for the shelter. We are not allowed to drink tap water so we need to use bottled which is why that is helpful. I also collected old towels from around my house that I could donate since the shelter is always in need of new towels. This helped me complete the goal of helping the shelter and becoming closer to the workers and dogs there.  R...

Today I gathered some donations and brought them to the shelter this morning. I got towels, dog treats, and water all for the dog shelter. After bringing these in we had to get ready since the dogs were getting adopted today. Same routine as usual, cleaning and bringing to the vet. I was sad to see the dogs that I liked go but happy that they had found homes. Tomorrow is most likely a scrub day and I will also make a ad for the shelter if there is nothing else to do and work on my paper reflection.  9 hours May 19 4:00 

 Today I Started the day with opening the door to a puppy on the loose in shelter. After putting him away and cleaning up after him I began the usual cleaning. Since the dogs came on Wednesday instead of Thursday they are going to be adopted tomorrow instead of Saturday. The dog that was pregnant had nine babies last night and returned to the shelter early this morning. The babies are all very cute and there was no runt which is good. The dogs are all very cute as usual in this group. Tomorrow we will take them to the vet and then give them away which is exciting.  9 hours  May 18 10:15

 Today new dogs came again! However, one of the dogs is pregnant and started giving birth. This was ok but then there were complications and so the dog had to go to the vet. There were 42 puppies at the shelter today so it took a long time to clean out all of the cages over and over. We even had to use the upstairs rooms for the cages since there were so many. Then we fed all the dogs and prepped the pregnant dog's cage for her return tomorrow. I think that the new babies will be very cute.  May 17 9:44pm  9 hours 

 Today was an easy day at the shelter. We took care of Mikey, changed his water and food. Then we added new towels into the washers and dryers. After this we spent some time folding laundry that had piled up. This took a while but we got it all done. Then we put up the pictures on the cages of where the dogs were gonna go. We also put up the list of dogs as to what cages they go to.  May 16, 12:33  3 hours
