| This little guy got adopted last week by this nice gentleman! |
While I have been volunteering at the shelter these past three weeks I have seen almost four animals get adopted, three go to foster homes, and I have heard of other animals getting adopted while I haven't been at the shelter. It is the most rewarding feeling when you see an animal get adopted! There is the moment of such joy when you here the words the animal has been adopted, it is like that feeling you got when you were a little kid on Christmas and Santa has brought you a bunch of presents. It is so special to see the new owners and their animal interacting with each other before they leave the shelter. You can tell how happy the animals are to be going home with someone; their tails are wagging, they have a little pep in their step, and they are smiling. Most of the animals I have seen get adopted have been at the shelter for a couple of days to two weeks or more but one time there was a dog that was there for only 30 minutes! The shelter has a great and pretty fast turn over rate with the animals, they do a great job at getting these animals homes!

I love hearing these success stories! Your line about the dogs having a "pep in their step" and a smile on their face was very well expressed. I have witnessed that too, but you explained it much more eloquently than I could have. It would be great to have the dog's name and adoption dates too just for the record.
