Working and volunteering at an famous animal art is rewarding and fun... however it isn't always easy. There is much more to it than playing with puppies and snuggling with sleeping kittens. People who work and volunteer at shelters have to be dedicated and big-hearted. When someone decides they cannot take care of their pet anymore, or when strays are found, shelter workers are there to take the place of the owner. There are a few main facets that go with maintaining a shelter, including responsibilities, maintenance/upkeep and funding. A shelter must maintain all of these things in order to provide a healthy, safe environment for the animals.
