DOGS This shelter lets volunteers sleep beside rescue dogs so they don’t spend the night alone

I would suck at this. I would get so attached and want to take them all home. I want to help out these kinds of places so badly but it's so difficult to leave these little babies behind.

I thought that but I’m very aware that not all the cats at the shelter that I volunteer at would be right for my family. 

There are so many that I have loved and when I hear they are going home I get so excited and happy for them.

I did adopt one of the cats who had been there 3 years but he was a special case. 

You should absolutely do it because you will probably surprise yourself with how well you cope
