Settling with people
I had gone to the animal shelter Ulubele to hurry the dogs. For the first time, I had to listen to a two-hour lecture before the walk. People, however, reckon with their time and no one plans to spend a few hours listening to lectures. It felt like I had come to the volunteer interview. I live far from the shelter and I know that I will not be there more than once a year, but I still have to listen to the lecture. At the end of the lecture, a donation of two dollars is required from each person. I felt then that I had come to help, but I was still being asked for money. At that moment, I wanted to just leave. A woman sitting next to me with a deli who had come by foot from public transport to this shelter could see that it was not easy for her to differ from those dollars.When we finally got to the walk, we were told that we could not choose a dog passport, go for a walk with those dogs who need it. I already understand that all dogs need to be stretched, but if I could stretch a dog that I like, there is a greater potential that I would like to take that dog home afterwards. I had an operation a week ago, I asked if I could give a little dog for a walk. Said the little ones should not be pushed, but my dog will be calm. Gave a big dog that dragged me all the way during the walk and walked all the ditches. After the walk, it was a little or unintentional that the dog should now be washed because of the trench. It felt like I was just a tool, a complete no-brainer with people. At the end I asked the staff if I could look at any particular dog. The employee askedwhy really want to see him. I said I really like this dog. The employee was reluctant to accompany me to my chosen dog, but did not want to take him for a walk or hug him because he was angry. I look like a very nice dog. This dog was sealed along with other pens in the middle of the field, feeling as if the dog had decided to stay in the shelter altogether. And, of course, if the dog is not even allowed to be petted, then no one will take it home. Overall a very bad experience with the animal shelter Ulubele. The next time I send the dogs to another shelter.
