The Animal Shelter

Hello and welcome back to another blog post. Today we will be talking about the Animal Shelter. The Animal Shelter is a place for abandoned pets who lost their owners or have been neglected by them. People can volunteer at the shelter to help the animals to be more social with other people. Over 250 volunteers come and help the shelter every year. Volunteering can be very stressful work because the noise from the cats and dogs from learning behaviors. Jordan would be a perfect volunteer because he didn't mind the noise from the dog room.

Take me with you

Every year 200 animals are being sent to the shelter. There were 100 cats staying in the shelter that day. There were different types of cages. Three or four cats can stay in one apartment cage. Volunteers can take cats in the play cage. The shelter only had like five dogs in the shelter. 

This is Chance

In 2008 the river overflowed with water and flooded the building. Which made them move to a temporary building that was 15 minutes away from the old one. In August a new building would be built closer to Iowa City. This will make it easy for people who want to volunteer because it is on a bus route.

Travis's favorite memory was looking at all the animals they had there and that one worker had a dog that was a Rat Terrier that look like mind. Jordan's favorite memory was the bunny rabbits. The bunny rabbits were huge. We loved the animals there because we all have pets at home. If you are a animal lover the animal shelter is the perfect place to volunteer.
