Home Always Have Room For Pets On The Mend
October 10th, 2008 Posted in Pet GamesLuisa Carr shares her Tempe home and her busy life with two dogs and two cats. But there is always time - and room - for one more.
Carr, an interior designer for Dick and Fritsche Design Group, has volunteered for the Arizona Humane Society for about five years, tending to strays in its clinic and taking some abandoned pets for extra TLC.
“It’s not really glamorous,” she said, referring to the towels she fetches and the paperwork she files at the clinic. “But I’ve learned how to give vaccines, I’ve shaved cats and I’ve helped with puppies being born and made sure they were breathing. I sit with the animals when they’re coming out of anesthesia after surgery.”
The same usually can be said of Claudia, who was adopted from the Humane Society, as well as Porter, Sadie and Oscar, each from animal-rescue groups. They check out the new arrivals, bring them out of their shells and teach them how to play.
Returning a foster animal to the shelter is a sad but rewarding moment. The stray, after recuperating in the healthier, less stressful environment of a home, is ready to take a permanent place elsewhere.
Carr always cries, but she rejoices when she sees one of her charges leave the Humane Society with its new family.
