I attented my orientation today and am now an official volunteer for the Halifax Humane Society!

I was very happy to learn at my orientation; that no animals are euthanizedexcept if they are ill or otherwise unadoptable. Animals at this shelter have no time limit. Wheew...I'm relieved to hear this.

I'm very excited about being able to work with the rabbits. Since I signed up a few weeks ago, one bunny has been adopted and there is another one pending adoption. Fortunately, they don't get a lot of rabbits in this shelter. They only have 4-6 at any one time, so this should be an easy task. I'll be certain to post pictures of my little charges. I'm so excited aboutstarting my volunteer work!

There was one rabbit, Gee Whiz, a cute little brown lop, that I was petting today. Everytime I stopped, he would thump at me. Too cute! Another favorite is a BEW lop that needs a lot of socialization. She is so pretty, but unless I can get her to be friendlier, she will have a hard time finding a home. I look forward to the challenge.
 
Thanks everyone! I'm going to start this weekend and am super excited about it. I'm going to purchase a few pair of scrubs to wear while I'm at the shelter. This way I can throw them right into the washer when I get home so I won't have strange rabbit smells on me and won't bring home any germs. Good idea?

The staff and volunteers at this shelter are great and really care about the animals. When I was taking my tour, one of the groomers was bathing a dog that had just been confiscated in an abusive situation. She was crying while she was giving the dog his bath because he had arrived in such a horrendous condition. The lady that conducted the orientation had been volunteering for 18 years - such dedication!
