I volunteered at the Grand Strand Humane Society in Myrtle Beach, S.C. They are located off of Mister Joe White Avenue in a small area. At the shelter, I helped with paper work and keeping up with their web page online. Since I am 17 years old and not old enough to actually interact with most of the animals then I did mostly office help. I learned that the shelter has a multitude of duties and responsibilities placed on them that most people would just overlook. For example, every animal has to be accounted for whether the animal is alive or dead. Also, each time an animal is placed in the shelter, spaying and neutering is mandatory. Just because the animal is placed there, it is important to follow up and keep up with that animal. After going there, I will continue to help out at the shelter doing "office work" and cleaning up until I am 18 years old. Once I turn 18, I'm able to actually participate in the adoption and aid of the animals in the shelter.
