Lending a helping hand

Most teens hang out with their friends or watch TV after school, but many choose to do something different. These teens all help out at local animal shelters. Here are some of their experiences.

A «I started working at the animal shelter after school a year ago. Some people came to my school to give a talk about ways teens can help out in the community. There were lots of interesting ideas like visiting senior citizens or cleaning up parks. I liked the idea of getting involved with something worthwhile. and as I've always loved animals the shelter seemed the natural choice for me.»

B «I spend a couple of hours about twice a week helping out at the animal centre, more in the holidays. Sometimes I help the staff members feed, clean and exercise the animals. Other times, I answer phone calls or help members of the public to choose a pet. Last year during the summer holidays, I also spoke to some groups of children about looking after pets properly and the importance of showing kindness to animals.»

C «When most people think of animal shelters, they think of cats and dogs. Well, there are plenty of both at our shelter, but there are sometimes farm animals there, too, such as horses, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks and once, even a llama who we named Jack! Most of the animals are either brought to the shelter by their owners because they can no longer take care of them, or they are removed from their homes because they are not being looked after properly.»
