People Who Work With Animals Are Sharing Their Cutest Photos, And We Can’t Get Enough
Have you ever considered volunteering at an animal shelter? Millions of animals are in need of love and attention, and most of all, a new home! Volunteers are vitally important to shelters, many of which are overstretched and underfunded.
We here at Bored Panda compiled a list of pics taken by animal shelter volunteers, so you can see just how sweet it is to be surrounded by fluffballs while at work. After seeing these, you’ll definitely be inspired to go and help out. Don’t be fooled though, as appealing as spending time with animals may be, you will be asked to do all kinds of tasks. From admin and fundraising to cleaning the poop out of the kennels, there is much more to it than cuddling puppies!
Scroll down below to check out the pics for yourself, and for more info you can check out here and here.

This is so sad. We also have to cats no one wanted. A blind one with no eyes from Greece who was supposed to be killed. Very smart and has no problems at all with not seeing the world. He sees everything with the help of his ears and nose. And a black cat that was overly shy and afraid when in the shelter. Now he's the cuddliest and happiest ball of fluff.
