Beautifully written essay about a beautiful topic. I'm a dog lover in the NYC area and have determined I'd never have the emotional strength to volunteer with ill-fated dogs. Thank you for what you do. I look forward to more of your writing.
Thank you for reading! Haha, I have somehow only managed to adopt two dogs since I started volunteering but I’m sure there will be many more to come. :)
It’s a tough gig for sure, but the happy endings (and all the wagging tails in the moment) make the heartbreaking experiences worth it. Thank you for reading!

Thank you so much for reading and for your kind words! It is definitely a challenging gig, but the happy endings outweigh all the heartache. <3
Thank you for this lovely uplifting essay. I am so excited about your memoir. I'll be reading it and probably reviewing it. I love dog stories!
Thank you so much for reading, and I appreciate the kind words! Niche dog memoirs are my favorite memoirs. :)
Check out Starter Dog by Rona Maynard. So good!
I would just have to have my house moved into the shelter because I would take too many home.

. . . Had I met Z, you’d have lost that puppy much sooner. Pitties are the greatest! I gotta go now. One of them wants me 🐶🤣👍🤗

I don't know if I could work at an open intake shelter. I'm grateful that they exist and grateful for the volunteers like you.
