Description
Jinx is a female cat available for adoption at the shelter. She has a lot of personality and I just love the express on her face in this photo so I thought I would share it.May she is saying "Please take me home".

She did find a home. She was too cute to resist. Yes, I take photos at the same shelter each week. It is one of the best volunteer jobs you can have. The hard part is not taking them all home. However, I have placed many pets with my friends.

Oh that's fantastic! Two of mine came from a shelter and so did my puppy. The white one was only 2-3 weeks old when we got her, someone had just thrown her over the wall

If you decide to check with some of your local shelters I suggest the first thing you do is see if they have a web-site where photos are posted. Here in the States, there are web-sites available to shelters that may not have their own but not sure where you live.

Yeah, I'm originally from the states, and my one sister worked at a local shelter as well. I do believe that the shelter near us has a website, and I know they occasionally post ads on another website but I don't believe they ever have photos. Thanks, that's actually such a great idea!

It really does help increase adoptions. You may want to find out when the board of directors meet or arrange to speak with the manager to share your ideas. You will definately need staff assistance. How do you like where you are living? I've been to Africa but not South Africa. I'm sure it is very different from the States. I lived out of the country (Guatemala) for 4 1/2 years and found it to be such an eyeopening experience. One that I will always treasure.

Fortunately I have a friend that works at the SPCA so I'll have her fill me in on when they meet and everything. I"m sure it will increase adoptions, I mean people spend tons of time on the internet just searching random things, they're bound to see the adorable kitties and puppies

One thing I definately regret is that I didn't keep a diary of my experiences there. I would have loved to have it to read now that it is 30 years later. It formed who I am so much and that was a time of strong feelings for me.
I also loved Africa but I was mostly in the national parks. I didn't see the type of poverty that I know exists although I did very much see it in Guatemala.

I've seen only a tiny bit of the poverty here. But I was explained that the places where there are shacks of metal, they also have electricity and will walk out of there in full suits, its just how they know how to live, which is also sad. But I know in the more rural areas it's not as good, like where I live it's not bad at all, but more south of here, you read every now and again about the rural people and how they've attacked eachother. It's very sad. I would love to visit more of the national parks and see more of South Africa, just it took forever to sort out my visa here and took quite a bit of money as well, plus we've just gotten ourselves a house, so now that everythings settled nicely, I think it's time to get out to Kruger and places like that

I worked mostly with the Mayan Indians who lived in the more rural areas. Most lived in small adobe homes with dirt floors, no running water and usually no electricity in the home. They worked hard to survive, were very close communities always helping those in need and the children were very playful and happy in general. The children also had their chores. Everyone except the very youngest had a role to play in maintaining the family unit. It makes you really think about how we in the States take so very much for granted. There are also some things we have lost such as the strong sense of community. I loved what I was doing and stayed much longer than I thought I would but after four years I decided that I had to be willing to make this my permanent home or get back to the States to reestablish my life there. I decided that I was not ready to commit to a life long effort. Is this a permanent or temporary move for you?

Oh my goodness! I know what you mean! The black people here have such a strong community as well. They have to catch taxi's [not the same as in the states, like beat down buses that drive around and pick them up and drop them off in certain areas] and they'll just start singing together when they see eachother passing or just break out dancing to music they hear passing. I had actually originally thought of going into greenpeace for a while with my sister. It would've been an amazing experience, I'm sure. My move here for now is permanent. I moved here for my boyfriend. We loved eachother very much but didn't believe the long distance was good [plus we obviously wanted to be together] and he had so much going for him here and I really had nothing going for me where I was in the states. I was in college, but it was just costing so much and things had just taken a wrong turn for me. So I figured it was worth the risk of the move, and so far, I've proven myself correct
