*~* Okay...so, we arrived EARLY
to Petsmart (11:15AM) and I met with Misty & Emily.
{ I had the name of the pet rescue organization WRONG ! The correct name is:
All Creatures Rescue. }
( Furry Friends Rescue is the name of the organization that is for CATS. )
Sorry...
Okay...so, we arrived EARLY
to Petsmart (11:15AM) and we helped Misty & Emily: set up 2 tables, set up metal crates, set up puppy playpens, get out water pails & bungie cord them to the cages so the dogs would not tip over the water, put a toy in every crate or playpen, place information about EACH & EVERY DOG with a clothes pin onto the crate or playpen...etc.
* For the first hour...we just did a lot of water filling. There were about 10 dogs and a total of 6 puppies. We would use paper towels and clean up any messes of WATER or URINE as quick as we could so that the dogs or puppies would not walk or sit in it.
Misty & Emily were VERY helpful and explained things very well to me and my kids ! Both Misty & Emily were patient, soft spoken, personable and RESPECTFUL !! I felt completely comfortable being there and I knew exactly what to do. There was information posted about each individual dog....and it made answering questions from people....VERY EASY !
** For the rest of the time...we would document which dog that we would take for a walk. We would take the dog to a grassy area and try and get the dog to eliminate there. We would encourage the dog to try and walk for at least 10-15 minutes. So, it was pretty much EVERY HOUR....Kyle & Sara would choose a dog, I would document the names of the dog on the worksheet & then when Kyle & Sara brought those 2 dogs back...they would choose 2 more dogs.
We had a GREAT time VOLUNTEERING at Petsmart in Springfield, Missouri !!
We plan to go back NEXT SATURDAY !!
