Animal Shelter
I would like to thank you for visiting and reading this article. The topic has been carefully researched and documented for your benefit.
Winter is coming to an end and you wait in anticipation as spring draws nearer, because with the start of spring, summer’s right around the corner. It’s a mixed blessing however, since during the long winter months your work at the animal shelter can only be envisioned as slightly insane. With summer on the way though, you and your coworkers will have your work cut out for you. That’s the time when your “only slightly insane” workload turns into the full fledged blood pressure rising kind of insanity.
You like your job at the animal shelter, there’s no two words about that, but at times it can get overwhelmingly hectic. And most of the time that’s an understatement, “Hectic” is too calm a word to describe life at the animal shelter, especially when the height of summer sets in. During the winter months at least all you really need to do is look after the many inhabitants of the animal shelter and try to make them as happy as you possibly can.
If there are any unhealthy or injured animals, you’ll need to look after them, and if you get a call from a hysterical person who’s sure there’s a family of bears sleeping in their barn, then you’ll need to go check that out. But really that’s about it. A few calls to take out some small, or big, animal that’s managed to get themselves trapped inside your house or garden, perhaps a minor disaster or two to cope with, but overall it is not very hectic within the walls of the animal shelter.
That all changes however the minute springs blows in. From about that point onward the animal shelter will gear up for full blown insanity status in preparation for all the emergencies and disasters that all seem to befall the animal population during these few months.
That’s when the calls starting coming in and all our units at the animal shelter are kept constantly busy moving back and forth between emergencies. They’re almost all the same type of calls year in and year out like, “Help, there’s a large animal in my flue”, or perhaps “I’m sure there’s a family of raccoons trying to nest in the crawlspace above me.”
One of the best calls that the animal shelter has gotten, was when one man called us to say that a family of squirrels had taken over his wife’s underwear drawer and stolen each and every pair of expensive lingerie to line their nest. She was coming back home shortly and could we please get all the underwear back from the squirrels!
