Humane Society 10/20

The Humane Society is an organization in Boone which offers a shelter to abused and homeless animals and tries to find new and caring homes for them. The students that visited on Tuesday participated in several service acts including walking and washing the dogs and showing the animals some much-needed love.
After talking to some volunteers at the Humane Society about the different problems faced by abandoned animals, the students realized what a responsibility the society was, and were eager to help.

"This is the first of the humane society trips that I've been on. I had a pretty good time. One of the leaders, Jim, demonstrated excellent problem solving abilities when three fellow students had an altercation. Also, I completely fell in love with a very fat black cat that purred like an extremely large car. It was awesome.You could hear it purring halfway across the room."
