Blog 7 (New Topic) - Independent Component 1 Approval

1.) Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours. 
     A: I plan to apply to another animal shelter. One that is different then a regular cat and dog filled one. It is a "bunny" shelter that houses bunnies, chinchillas, hamster, guinea pigs and small rodents of that kind. I will also plan to help out on weekends for an event such as adoption events, or promotion events.

2.) Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
      A: I will keep a volunteer log, and have the coordinators sign it. Maybe show photo evidence.

3.) And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.
     A: Since I plan to do my project on No-Kill shelters, this different animal environment. Meaning, this will give me a different perspective than the typical dog-cat animal shelter.

4.) Update senior blog hours.

Blog 4 (New Topic) - First Interview Preparation

1.) Who do you plan to interview? Why?
     A: I plan to interview one of the staff members, or managers. They seem to have been around the animals for a while, so they must know how to run the place. They know how to treat and care for the facility.

2.) What additional questions do you plan to ask? (Ask open ended questions.)

  • How are you today? What made you want to work with animals? Tell me a little about yourself, and your experience with the animals.
  • What is like to care for an animal in need?
  • What's the difference in caring for an animal who is saved from a no-kill shelter, than one that customers can drop off?
  • How do you find the animals from no-kill shelters? Do you go to a no-kill shelter in person? 
  • Caution is necessary when handling an animal who is sick. Is it harder to care for an animal in the shelter, than say if it were at an animal hospital? What's the difference?
  • Is it hard finding home for animals? Do city limits prevent individuals from adoption?
