What kind of people will I meet at a shelter?

I went for an interview, and looks like I will be volunteering at an animal shelter once a week for a few hours (bottle feeding). Although I do volunteer on a semi-regular basis; most of my volunteering haven't been great places to meet people my age.





Certainly I am not treating like volunteer work as a hookup place, but I would be lying if I said I wouldn't mind meeting people my age (mid 20s).





So what kind of volunteers will I likely meet at the shelter?

What kind of people will I meet at a shelter?
There are many kinds of people at the shelter where I volunteer. Younger people (usually on weekends) some do their community work for high school there too. Then there are those who love animals, but can;t afford their own. These are all ages. This was me when I first started to volunteer. Then there are older, retired or slightly disabled people who can't work a full time job, but come to help with the animals in any way they can.





All love animals and all are for responsible pet ownership. Volunteering at a shelter is not easy. yes it's great when you see an animal find a new home or one that was very sick or injured slowly return to health. You do see many heartbreaking sights such as animals that have been starved or abused in other ways. There are also those who are just no longer wanted. They were bought on a whim and suddenly they are an inconvenience.





You will meet lots of great people at the shelter for sure from many different walks of life.
Reply:Hopefully very kind, compassionate people.
Reply:Well for a start they will all be animals lovers like yourself so that will be nice.


Couldnt tell you what ages they will be though.





Good luck, Hope you enjoy it................its going to be tough on your heart though, wonder how many cats you end up taking home ? hehe
