For me, if they would of had 2 people change or get rid of them, things would be fine. When ever I move to a different city, I will try to work at their shelter. :)Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09125093150749941236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452723450949689540.post-33656659539672880372012-04-01T21:17:28.797-06:002012-04-01T21:17:28.797-06:00Hi Jessie! I stumbled across your blog while doing...Hi Jessie! I stumbled across your blog while doing a google search for interior design and decided to read the most recent entries. I'm glad I did because I read this post about the difficulty you had working for your shelter and I wanted to let you know that I have had the same problems, myself, at our local shelter and forced myself to quit. I returned after a replacement of the entire board of directors, thinking things had changed, but was disappointed to find that they hadn't. I, regretfully, experienced the wrath of those who preferred that I not say anything about the drama that went on within the shelters walls and I hope that your plea did not fall on deaf ears. It's such a shame to be so in love with the animals and not be able to change things, fundamentally. I wanted to let you know that you are not alone and that, as another animal welfare supporter and jaded employee, I'm proud of you for saying your peace. Good luck with everything, in the future!<br /><br /> ~ Heather P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452723450949689540.post-19658002092973383752012-03-21T16:11:29.645-06:002012-03-21T16:11:29.645-06:00That's got to be such a tough job!

It is very rewarding to see those uplifting moments, but the sad ones are too common. I quit my vet job due to the people too. <br /><br />I recently read an article about a man who is helping shelter animals find homes, by doing makeovers on them and taking professional pictures to capture their true personalities, then those better photos are used on the websites. It seems to be working too!Little Lovableshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02372045299073262480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452723450949689540.post-60550644828766824422012-03-18T13:20:59.851-06:002012-03-18T13:20:59.851-06:00I am so glad Powder found a home!

Gabe and I just went yesterday to donate items to the place where we got Barkley. I told Bark we were giving back in honor of his birthday...though I am pretty sure he didn't understand. LOL! <br /><br />Have a great rest of your weekend!!!Joy De Vivre Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14269574053762312316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452723450949689540.post-60592154899964106822012-03-18T09:25:12.228-06:002012-03-18T09:25:12.228-06:00Nice Blog....
