    And do you remember the story that I started with about the little girl and Mom purchasing that cute little brown Cocker Spaniel? Well the Mom soon realized that the little puppy was too much to handle. So the Mom took the puppy to local animal shelter and gave up her rights.

  • Balancing Adult Responsibilities: Work, Volunteering, and Study

    530 Words  | 2 Pages

    Thankfully, I am not the only volunteer there but when you have anywhere to 50 - 100 cats and 30 - 200 dogs it becomes very loud and stressful. As you can probably tell we aren’t a small recuse, the reason we are so over populated is because we are the only shelter that takes in bully dogs. But volunteering with the actual organization is not the only way I give my time to them, at least once a month I also volunteer at charity events sponsored by the SPCA. Through all of that I still have not made it home yet, when I arrive home around 10:15 most nights. I come home to an lonely apartment with my two cats Angel, and Sammie and my dog Ringo. It won’t be till around 3 am till my boyfriend Aaron gets off work. So even after my “job” is done I start a new one by walking and feeding Ringo, and making sure the cats have a clean litter box and they are also fed and watered. I begin to make something small for dinner and place his in the microwave for when he gets home. So finally off to bed I go! And to bed I mean to sit in my bed as

  • The Effectiveness of ASPCA's Commercial

    768 Words  | 2 Pages

    In 2010 the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) came out with a commercial that would shock the advertisement industry. The effectiveness of this commercial is proven, simply by watching the reactions of the commercial’s viewers. For those who have never seen the video it has a very sad and morose tone to it. The commercial begins with showing pictures and videos of suffering animals with the song “Angel” playing in the background. While this is going on the narrator of the commercial (Sarah McLachlen) is softly talking about the suffering and abuse that these unfortunate animals go through. Through many different rhetorical techniques the viewers are many times brought to tears after watching this commercial. When thinking of pieces of Rhetoric that demonstrates the use of pathos, the first thing I think of is this commercial. The sole purpose of this commercial is to emotionally compromise the audience until eventually the viewers will donate money to the cause. This video is so affective at completing this goal because of the way it connects to the viewers, and the way it uses many different methods to attack the viewer’s emotions.

    “A dog is a man’s best friend” goes much deeper than the phrase might initially imply. Recently many medical journals have begun to identify with the many and varied benefits of pet ownership. Men have always relied upon animals for work, transportation, and survival. As times have changed, man has begun to appreciate a different bond with animals.

  • Animal Shelter Reflection

    1057 Words  | 3 Pages

    There is a Pedigree dog commercial I see on television which catches my eye and my heart. It tells us to not pity a shelter animal. When I decided to become a Veterinary Technician, I anticipated working in a vet office. Unpredictably, I changed my mind. Approximately a year ago, I began volunteering for the Denver Dumb Friends League at the Buddy Center in Castle Rock. A shelter is not always the easiest place to work. Nevertheless, I feel it is where I feel most able to make a difference. There is plenty of heartache, but I seem to have a knack for calming and comforting the frightened animals, and that makes me feel good. My volunteer role involves helping with surgery, giving animals their medicine and processing incoming animals. In addition, I help with Humane Education, which includes speaking with groups about animal care. There are tremendous pros and cons to working in a shelter. In the following paragraphs, I will evaluate the shelter setting to decide if this is where I will be most fulfilled. One aspect I enjoy about a shelter is the changing atmosphere. Each visit brings a novel experience. On occasion, exotic breeds of animals arrive, such as the time animal control brought in a wolf/dog hybrid. These hybrids are illegal to own, but we processed him, so he could be taken to a sanctuary. Other times, I witness kittens born and experience the amazing scene of a mother and her babies. My favorite experience is when a lost animal has a microchip because we can reunite them with their family. A recent highlight is the story of a family who moved here from Idaho and lost their cat. It was brought to the Buddy Center, and we discovered a microchip. We contacted the family, and they were ecstatic. The cat had been missing f...

  • Reflection On Volunteering

    1778 Words  | 4 Pages

    A reflection of my volunteering experience can be summarized in two words: Life-changing. It is hard to explain the feelings that occur when you involve yourself in selfless acts for your community, such as volunteering. There is a feeling in your heart that you cannot ignore, maybe it is the happiness you feel or the overflow of emotions in helping others. In other words, it is a feeling in which you want to share with others. Maybe with a friend, maybe a classmate, maybe a family member, or maybe even a stranger. Either way, spreading how life-changing volunteering can be is a great start to making a positive change in your community by simply by involving others.

    Pet abandonment is an issue that needs volunteers, but there are teens, even your age, who are taking action and who have given pets hope to keep going. Teen volunteer work consists of many different topics like how they volunteer in their own free time, how they advertise, and the different people who volunteer. There are many people who help out with animals in their free time. Faye Carey, a 16-year-old, volunteers at an animal shelter every Friday in her free time. She even says it’s hard to volunteer, with all her school work and chores, but it is what she loves so she still does it in her free time instead of staring at her phone like many other teens her age.

    I also had the privilege of helping with the Meals on Wheels non profit organization. My grandfather used to be a Meals on Wheels recipient and he would share with me how he enjoyed looking forward to their company and a hot meal daily. I volunteered because I wanted to give back and help someone else’s loved one in the same way. It was very rewarding delivering hot meals to people who didn’t have the means of getting one as well as being there for them to talk to. Overall, it was a very humbling experience, it made me realize just how blessed I am and how much I take for granted daily.

  • Reflective Essay On Community Service

    955 Words  | 2 Pages

    I volunteered at East Parkside Nursing Home through my church 's mentoring program. At first, I was somewhat uncomfortable volunteering at a nursing home because my great-grandfather, among many others, was mistreated in a nursing home. But, as the day went on and we engaged in activities with the residents, I eventually calmed down and got into the smooth of things. We had one-on-one contact with the seniors, and we learned about their lives and families. One of the seniors was a veteran who fought in the Vietnam War and he told all of the volunteers a few short war stories. For several residents, their families rarely visited them, so they genuinely appreciated the volunteers spending time with them. Later, we made holiday cards and sang Christmas carols for the senior citizens. They seemed so elated and pleased, which made me feel so fulfilled that I could make someone 's day by doing something so
