Another Person Does Volunteer WorkJuly 21st, 2010 @ 8:30 am
When I went to Luke’s Place Lockyer yesterday, which is somewhere where disabled people can go I found out that another person was also doing volunteer work, and yesterday was his first day at the job and what this person has to do is go to the dog pound or whatever they called and walk the dogs. And he came back when it was getting onto twelve and he was so muddy that he had to take his shoes off. Also the supervisor that took him there got the guy to mop out the van as the floor was muddy but I can imagine that he really enjoyed walking the dogs.

Hi Jo, I imagine that person was walking the dogs at the Old Laidley Pound which is where the Brave Companion Dog Rescue group operate a shelter – this is the group I am involved with. Ludelle (the lady in charge) mentioned she had a couple of new helpers this week – one with Downs Syndrome, another person in a wheelchair. It is very grubby work! I used to get home and throw all my clothes straight into the washing machine. I don’t walk the dogs much myself now because of my knee injury, but I do help out in plenty of other ways, such as secretary work and maintaining the web site – http://www.freewebs.com/bravedogs

Hi Liss, Yes you’re right as I found out this Tuesday that the place they go to is run by the Brave Companion Dog Rescue Group.

I printed out a photo of Molly the Maremma to give to the fellow from Luke’s Place who helps out at Brave Companions. Molly was recently re-homed, and she was his favourite dog at the pound.
