Do you enjoy going visit and helping at animal shelters?
Seeing the animals and showing them love. Maybe helping them out or even taking them out of their cages and playing with them?

The only time the dogs (or cats) at the Anti-Cruelty are allowed loose is when they are being considered for adoption. When I went with my younger brother to pay the adoption fee (it was a birthday present) the proctor at the front desk released the wire doors and the puppies/dogs charged into the attached pen for public viewing. My brother stepped up to the wire and said, "Which one of you wants to come home with me?"
I really don't believe the people who run the shelter want everybody and their godmother in there. Any particular dog or puppy can turn on an adult or child, or a sick person can spread diseases or illness; same with a dog.

Well, yes and no. Most animal shelters here deal with cats and dogs, and personally I can't stand cats or dogs. But at the same time, I hate seeing any living thing suffer, even if it's an animal that I really dislike.
Although I do absolutely love working with animals like snakes, raccoons, snapping turtles, and crows. And there's a number of shelters here in the city which provide help for wounded or displaced creatures of that nature. Last spring, my sister talked me into volunteering at a shelter which was helping to relocate bats.

@BlueMetalChick You say snapping turtles? When my dad used to do construction and I was little, he would often bring one home when he found it on the side of the road. We would keep it overnight, then release it in the wilds where he found it. My dad was an animal lover and we always had something of some sort - dogs, caged birds, turtles, fish, guniea pigs, rabbits.

@MaryJanine I like most of the animals everyone else hates.

That means cleaning up shit. Nope. Can't say I do.
