I work at an animal shelter and think it's the best job in the world as I help take care of stray, lost and abandoned animals.  Have you been to an animal shelter before?
Once when I was very young. What do you like about it?
I like that I can help out animals and get them rested to feel better.  I even work at a no-kill shelter to try to heal the animals back from bad health.
What is your favorite animal that you've taken care of?
Mainly dogs.  But there are times when the shelter is full and we will need to euthanize any ill animals that are considered dangerous to public safety,
You said you work at a no-kill shelter though.
Yeah, but if the shelter is full and ONLY for animals that are terminally ill do we euthanize them.  We also use a lot of strategies to promote the shelter animals for adoption.  We will actively to ensure a new home can be found for most pets.
Do most of them find a new home?

"When I did daytime before, they didn't have any blogs. So I didn't know when people didn't like me. Ignorance is bliss. I was like, 'I think this is fun,' and then I was reading a lot of negative stuff. It's hard not to take it personally. Than I thought, 'You know what? I am not going to do this to myself. I'm just going to do the best job I can."
