Volunteering at the Hobart Humane Society has been an incredibly rewarding experience, allowing me to make a positive impact on the lives of animals in need. My role includes feeding and caring for animals, cleaning kennels, assisting with adoptions, and providing enrichment through play and exercise. I also help with event support, social media promotion for adoptable pets, and educating the public on responsible pet ownership.
Through this experience, I have learned compassion, patience, teamwork, and the importance of advocacy in animal welfare. Working with shelter animals has taught me how to read their body language, provide comfort to nervous pets, and support their transition into loving homes. Additionally, I have developed strong communication and organizational skills while assisting staff and potential adopters.
