"For the past three years I volunteer my time with the local no-kill pet shelter because I have always been passionate about animals. My shift is every Saturday from 10 am - 2 pm and work with animals who are mistreated by their owners and try to re-engage them into society. I bathe them, walk them, play with them and give them their medications. I also help with administrative duties when they have a large influx of animals. It is very important to give back to the community. Working with animals for a while now has taught me the importance of loyalty and resilience."
