Being a good counselor

“These volunteers walk with potential adopters through the kennels and provide insight into the unique personalities and assets of each pet housed at the shelter,” explains Gail Lane, Gwinnett County Department of Community Services, Gwinnett County Animal Shelter in Lawrenceville, Georgia.

Sometimes isn’t enough to know the animals’ profile and having a positive thinking about what’s going on and preparing a list of animal characteristics. Sometimes you have to be there for animals, to see their habitat and how they survive, to know their health conditions and to see with your own eyes their personalities and their favorite foods. Therefore, don’t do this job just to fill your time, do this primarily for animals and to truly reach the peak of human goodness.
