WALKING DOGS FOR FUN AND SERVICE

Last week we had a fun JAS service project walking dogs at a volunteer dog and cat shelter.  The shelter is run by a group of British people who live here and love animals and want to spare their lives.  Everything is donated, food, management and daily care.  It is truly a service of love.  We talked to 2 of the older women who have helped out for over 10 of the 20 year existence of the shelter.  The place is a bit of a ramshackle in the desert but the volunteers work hard to keep everything clean.  There are about 30 or so dogs here of various sizes and shapes.  Some of the dogs get shipped to other countries for adoption.  12 of us spent 2 hours walking each dog for about 15 minutes up a path in the wilderness where it is located.  It was a hot day but We all enjoyed it a lot.  They let some of the girls bath the cute little shaggy dog that we all wanted to take home.  After we all went for pizza.  This will be our last activity in Los Cristianos.  We are sad to leave.
