Hi!
My name is Chris and I'm an animal lover. Well, as long as the animal isn't large enough to crush me, dangerous enough to chomp off an arm or leg, or just plain creapy, then I'm good with it! I'm also totally blind which is probably why I could spend hours petting a soft, furry cat or listening to a dog run after a ball I tossed and then bring it right back to me. I've had dogs and goats (not at the same time) ever since I can remember and, since I currently don't have a pet, I volunteer at Pet Pal Animal Shelter, a no-kill shelter in St. Petersburg, Florida. Because of my sight impairment, I obviously can't be "hands-on" with the dogs and cats but, just by working at the front desk 1 day a week for the past 2 years, I've met a lot of wonderful people and learned so much from them
So now that I've introduced myself, let me tell you a little about my purpose for this blog. My intention is to spread awareness of all the great things Pet Pal Animal Shelter along with it's thrift store and low-cost veterinary clinic do for the animals in the local community. I'll also be highlighting upcoming events, sharing adoption success stories, informing you about the shelter's adoption process and requirements, and updating you with the many different ways you can get involved such as fostering animals or becoming a volunteer as I did. I'll also throw in some fun facts and trivia now and then just to keep things interesting!
Although I've never written a blog before, I'm looking forward to taking this journey with you. I welcome all of your comments and/or questions but please understand that I don't have any formal education or professional training and therefore I can not offer any specific advice or troubleshooting solutions. I'll do my best to respond to all of your comments and/or questions in a timely manner.
And as they say, "happy tails to you until we meet again"!
