Pros

- Working with animals. - Potentially saving lives. - Assisting in adoptions. - Making people happy.

Cons

- Stench of kennels can be overwhelming for those who have absolutely no experience of any kind. - You will at some point have to break up a dog fight, you think it is easy but it can be frightening your first time. After that you know what to do. - The person who runs the facility does not care for the animals. I strongly recommend you try not to get attached, your heart will break every time. - Poor pay for working 40 hours a week. Oh, get good quality shoes cause you will be on your feet all day. **Tips - Do not try to upsell a dog to a person/family if you do not believe they would match their energy/other pets/kids. If the adopter wants a nice calm dog, do not try to upsell the old timer who has anxiety issues or is high energy. All this does is hurt the animal in the end. - There will be returns and surrenders. It is so easy to judge someone, but please refrain from doing so. You never now the reason behind it. Be kind and understanding. - There will be death. It is a shelter. Although some are preventable and unjustified, ultimately there is nothing you can truly do. Do not let that hinder your spirit and passion to help these poor souls. - People gossip a lot. Do not contribute to it. If they are willing to gossip about someone else to you, they will gossip about you to someone else. I am not saying keep to yourself entirely, but limit what information you put out there.
