Elsa and I went to Oregon Humane Society, we sign up for couple hours of volunteering and end up having so much fun. Needless to say I was little nervous and apprehensive prior. I really like dog, generally enjoy them. But not so much cats. I did grow up with both as a kid, but for last 15 years only pets we had it was fishes and birds.
Upon arrival we were greeted by OHS employee who gave us a tour of the facility, introduce us to the history of organization and shared some of the tips how to behave about the animals.
There were 5 matches, plus 2 representatives from BBBS. After going over the rules we went around kennels, met some beautiful dogs and cats, and got to meet/play with some of them. Our dog was 6 years old mix terrier with saddest brown eyes, that just melt your heart. His name is Rhett (like Rhett Butler in the "Gone with the Wind") and he was perfect gentleman. Didn't jump, didn't run, behaved the entire time and all he wants is someone to pet him, hug him and snuggle next to him.
Our association with cats wasn't so eventful. There were Hugo - the black cat, very vicious and Salami, huge orange/white ball of fur who were so lazy to move around.
