PAWS

Last Friday afternoon, my company coordinated a community service event to volunteer at PAWS Chicago (Pets Are Worth Saving), a no-kill animal shelter. I helped out at the South Side location. We spent a lot of our time organizing the donations PAWS gets. They had a room (with no a/c... ugh) full of stuff that needed to be sorted through. It was kind of an organized mess.

The room full of donations - so much stuff!

People donate the strangest things! Huge stained underwear???


We also spent some time playing with the animals. It was hard to leave without taking one with me. I'm pretty sure Matt would have divorced me if I came home with a pet.

It was a fun day and great to help out, but it was sad to see all the homeless pets. : (
