abandoned & alone

Houses are being foreclosed every day, and that means families have to leave as well. So what happens to the pets that call it their home? Leaving them abandoned and at the mercy of fending for themselves and onto the streets, they must be so confused… wondering where their loving caregiver is, and why they are suddenly freezing, starving and alone. And, where will they go now and if anyone will take care of them. Pet cats that are abandoned will not easily fend for themselves outdoors. Unfortunately, most of these cats and their offspring will suffer premature mortality (death) from disease, starvation, or trauma.

long term goal

This project was very important to me because I am going to open a Pet Sitting Business in 2010. I enjoy being around animals and hate to see an abused or abandoned animal, so giving to this organization was very easy for me to do. I just hope my community will support me as well. thank you to all those who particpated and donated.

Project

It is getting close to the end of the semester and I am praying that my food drive goes well, this week I have to get my flyers "out there" and hope for the best, thank goodness I can rely on my family and friends... thanks a million to those who have NOT let me down...

Service Learning Project

I am worried that my community will not support my food drive, with the economy as bad as it is now, it is hard for people to help those in need, when so many are there themselves. My biggest fear, is not having a good turn out that will support so many of our stray animals, they are in need more than the human race. I have always had a love and passion for animals, and it breaks my heart to visit the animals in the shelters, so if I feel this way, I am also hoping that others will as well and come out to the Genesee County Humane Society and support my food drive on December 5th 2009 from 12p.m. to 4p.m. I hope to see all my classmates donate a can of dog food or two. Thank-You

Change of Plans

My original plan was to open a doggy daycare facility that would allow pet owner's to bring their pets while on vacation, at work or any unexpected emergencies. But with all the research and "reality checks", I will not be able to do this at this time. I recently received a certificate for completing an Entrepreneur class through Kettering University. My plan now is still to be around animals. Something Furry is a Pet Sitting Service that will allow me to visit the pet's home to take them on a walk and playtime one on one. Being convenient to both the owner and the pets; so they are comfortable in their own environment and by February 1st 2010, I hope to start my business.

Technical Definition

Our group works very well together, everyone gets a small part in the project and researches the topic, reveals information,and research, developing a strong paper. Luckily, everyone in my group is a woman, and has somewhat of an idea what it is like to have a baby naturally. with everyone's experience and knowledge, each of us has our own story to tell, and that is what makes our group unique.

What SLP has taught me?

Working on this project has shown me that there are still people out there that care, and willing to help by volunteering at Genesee County Humane Society, cleaning cages, cleaning messes, walking the dogs. I have a deep passion and love for animals, so selecting this organization for me was simple. Many pets that are brought to the GCHS are strays and with a $5.00 donation it would help 3 dogs or cats get the proper vaccinations. At the time of this writing,(July, 2009) the population number of the country was 306,861,871, just think if every person donated their time or money, how well off these animals would be.
