I had a wonderful time at the shelter and can't wait to go back in the future! I was able to learn so much about all of the animals they have and care for them hands on as well. Even though I was there for a short amount of time, all of the workers were very nice and inclusive and made my experience far more enjoyable. Even on my days off, I wanted to stay at the compound and spend more time with the people and animals. This truly was a life changing experience and I recommend to all animal lovers and those who even just want to immerse themselves in something new. 2 weeks was not enough!
