Well, first of all, it's not looking too great for Haley. (Check my last blog for more info about her story.) No one has shown serious interest in her. Sadly it's the same story for most dogs who end up in shelters...
I went to the Mt Juliet Animal Shelter to speak to the volunteer coordinator about Haley as well as 2 or 3 senior dogs they have for adoption. Unfortunately the coordinator was not there and I was told I must fill out an application and submit to a background check before I am allowed to donate my time- this process takes 3-5 weeks.
I really wish that the volunteer coordinator or the other volunteers I spoke to would have mentioned this lengthy process before. Now I can't help Haley as much as I would have wanted to... I hope the other senior dogs will still be there next month; that it won't be too late for them.
However the Middle TN Senior Dog Project DID donate a basket of animal goodies, i.e. shelter wish list items, to the Mt Juliet Animal Shelter. Maybe that will cheer up some sad dogs and cats there since I can't do it in person...
Sigh.
