Post 9: We Are Their Voice

Hi all.

I have been visiting Brother Wolf for the past few weeks on Wednesdays. My mom drops me off at 9:30 and I work until 4:30 or 5:00. There are so many new puppies for me to play with, but at the same time, it is so sad to know that most of them have been at the shelter for a good part of their lives. I love them all so much and want to take all of them home with me. Of course, I can't do that. :'(

One thing that struck me about Brother Wolf is when I walked around looking at the signs on the doors, a lot of them said 'abandoned' or 'given up'. As I was talking with my mom later on, she said that maybe people give up their dogs because they cannot control them. Dogs are harder to train at a later age. I thought that maybe if people could train their dogs, there would be less animals at the shelters.

If I were to start a training group and were to charge for it, the money would go towards Brother Wolf. If you have any other suggestions, please comment.

Thanks, Madi
