I have been volunteering at animal shelters in Iowa since I was 12 years old, I attend Indiana University and they are not accepting new volunteers at animal shelters in Bloomington. I am a freshman and I am also on the swim team here. I have always enjoyed being around animals and I have watched some of my teammates’ dogs recently. I also used to watch my friends and family members dogs when they were away on trips. I love walking and I go on daily walks with a friend and we walk around 3-5 miles. I miss being able to walk my dog at home and take her to go play at our family farm. I have been around animals my whole life and I can’t wait to be able to volunteer and work with animals again.
