An organization that I researched and stands out the most to me is the Lee County Humane Society. The Lee County Humane Society has a great need for dog walking volunteers. I would love to volunteer for this organization because I love animals so much.I think it would be fun to walk different breeds of dogs that I might otherwise never get to become familiar
Animal cruelty is a continuing problem that grows each and every day. According to the United States Humane Society, animal cruelty can be either deliberate abuse or simply to the failure to take care of an animal.

most profound service involvements to date was my three years of service with Larimer Humane Society, where I volunteered at least two hours every work, working variously as a dog walker, an adoption liaison, and a front-desk greeter. It was the first service commitment that I looked forward to every week, and I left almost every time feeling better than I did when I came in. Before my work with the Humane Society, the impact of most of my service had been essentially abstract. For instance, it was

Currently, animals are being used for medical and product tests, where they are often seriously hurt and abused.

Putting animals through the tests that we put them through
are being treated. Abandonment, irresponsible breeding, and neglect are only some of the ways that humans are failing the canine species. A few years ago my husband Ryan and I decided to get a dog. For several weeks we made trips to the Regina Humane Society, waiting to find the perfect dog for us. We never even entertained the idea of buying a pure bred. I didn't want to buy a pet from someone who breeds dogs for profit when there are so many homeless dogs in need of a second chance. One day when

The prevalence of pet ownership in America has more than tripled during the last several decades, rising from 67 million households during the 1970s to 164 million households in 2012 (Human Society, 2014). The conscious decision by 62 percent of American households to own at least one pet represents a long-term commitment of time, money, and dedication to the needs of a wholly dependent entity.

cage-free eggs. In spite of those criticisms, I argue that the cage-free system is an improvement in the human society. This can be seen through the practices by some leading restaurants, such as Burger King, and Carl’s Jr. Thus, I conclude that the transition to the cage-free system is worth carrying out. In terms of animal welfare, the cage-free system treats hens in a more humane
left alone. The Humane Society has been helping animals since November 24, 1954(2). Their mission since the beginning has been celebrating animals and confronting cruelty. There are a great number of things that the Humane Society has been doing for the animals, like saving them from people who want to harm them. The list of animals that the Humane Society helps is very long, because they don’t just help the household pets that you might have thought. The conditions of the Humane Society change due to
The general public is usually confused by the differences between an animal shelter and a humane society. You may have thought to yourself and asked the question, “What exactly is an animal shelter?” An animal shelter is a foundation that will provide a temporary cage for an animal until they can find it a “forever” home or it becomes euthanized due to overcrowding in the shelters. Many times in animal shelters if an animal has a special need or a disability they are immediately put down due to
I have Florida White show rabbits and a common problem with them is discoloration of their white fur. This is usually due to urine, feces, and their surroundings. When showing a Florida White, the number of points allocated to the condition of fur is twenty out of the total one hundred points ( FWRBA, 2014, page seven, paragraph five ) . Five points of this is for color ( FWRBA, 2014, page seven, paragraph six ) . This many points can mean the difference between Best of Breed or Best of Show, or

levels of basic rights. No, they can’t talk, or get a job, nor can they contribute to society the way humans can. Yet they hold a special place in their owners’ hearts, they can without a doubt feel, show their different emotions, and they can most definitely love. In recent years there has been a massive increase in animal rights awareness, leading to a better understanding and knowledge in the subject of the humane treatment of animals.

the Clarion Humane Society was real joy. I remember making the phone call to the Humane Society in Clarion, Pennsylvania, on July 5, 1994. I had just asked the volunteer worker who answered the phone, “Do you have a little dog there that needs a loving and caring home?” She said that they had just received a little puppy a few days before. My heart leaped in my chest. I was so excited that I wanted to get there as fast as I could. My friend and I drove off in my car to the Humane Society so fast that
theories as a whole. In particular, Eliade’s emphasis of studying religion via a cross-cultural comparison method and his notion of “the sacred and the profane” results in a deeper understanding of a given religion and the function it provides to human society as a whole. In contrast to many of the earlier theorists such as Tylor, Frazer, and Freud; Eliade suggests that to truly understand the function of a particular religion or religious practice, one must compare it to other religions across the world
