Animal Shelters: So Much More than Match-Makers

2/28/2018

By Kat Williams, Director of Development, Animal Welfare League of Arlington (AWLA)

Placing an animal in a loving home is like catnip to animal shelter staff and volunteers; it’s what gets people up each morning to scrub the kennels and out in the rain to walk dogs. And hearing people’s stories of adopting their cherished family cat, first dog, or beloved rabbit is further reward. But adoptions are only one of the many services that animal shelters, like the Animal Welfare League of Arlington (AWLA), provide to the community. Shelters not only find wonderful homes for homeless animals, but also provide programs and services to ensure that companion animals stay healthy and safe with their owners, and everyone, regardless of income, may enjoy the love of a pet.

You make sure to give it the time and attention it needs to grow and you protect it from harm. It's also like your kid in that sometimes it just doesn't act right. Whether employees are leaving early or missing targets, sometimes your business isn't turning out how you'd thought it would be. When this happens, it's easy and understandable to be more than a little upset. No one is going to love your business like you do, but that's okay!
