Animal Aid Inc.

Yesterday was the first day I volunteered. It was very nice to go back and volunteer. I met a lot of new volunteers, that were really nice, and I met a lot of new cats, some that were very friendly and others that were a little scared.

I never realized how big the Animal Aid Inc. organization was, until the woman in charge of the cats, Lee, told me of all the places that they have animals to be adopted. I learned from Lee, that her daughter’s dream was to start Animal Aid Inc. Since the organization was first started, it has grown a lot. They now have a main adoption center located on

2266 N. Dixie Highway Boca Raton, FL 33431-8003

, and many other locations where they bring some of their animals to be adopted, such as stores like Petsmart and Petco. Along with the main center, they also have three thrift stores, where all the proceeds are used to help all the animals.

One of the things that I learned while talking to Lee that really made me really appreciate what the organization does is that, many times, they will rescue animals that have either been injured or have some sort of have a medical issue, instead of rescuing animals that are perfectly healthy, because they know the healthier animals will be given another chance by other rescue organizations.

Animal Aid Inc. is a great organization that relies solely on donations. They are dedicated to saving animals and teaching people about the importance of spaying and neutering animals. If anyone is interested in helping in any way, please visit their website: www.animal-aid.com or email them at: AnimalAidInc@aol.com.

First Day of Volunteering

Tomorrow is going to be the first day I volunteer. I'm volunteering at Animal Aid Inc. It is a no-kill organization that helps find permanent homes for cats and dogs that have been abandoned, harmed, or have owners that can no longer take care of them.
I have actually volunteered there many times before, but I haven't been there in a while, so I'm excited to go back. Every time I go there, there are new and exciting volunteers and animals. Volunteering at Animal Aid Inc. has been a great experience.
Since my sister is allergic to cats, and the rest of my family has allergies to them, I don't know that much about cats. So when I volunteer at Animal Aid Inc, I am at the cat adoption center, in Petsmart. Volunteering there has taught me a lot about the behavior of cats and how to care for them, as well as certain aspects of grooming cats, such as cutting their nails and cleaning their ears.

The Beginning of Wise

This week was the official start of wise! I'm very excited that we are doing blogs this year, since I am already a little familiar with blogging because of my English teacher from last year. I know it's going to be really nice having my Wise experience documented in this blog...
So to start off my Wise experience, I have been looking online for different places to volunteer. My goal is to work with many different animals, and learn as much as I can about them. I also want to intern at some animal hospitals, so that I can learn more about a veterinarian's job. Another thing I plan on doing is writing an email and sending it to different animal clinics, to see if they have any internships available. I'm also thinking of going to some animal grooming places, to see if they have any internships available. I'm definitely looking forward to start volunteering, and I can't wait.
