I am seriously considering going to Louisiana. Many animal welfare organizations are in desperate need for skilled volunteers who aren’t afraid of hard work and difficult situations. Right up my alley!
Speaking of alleys, the specific animal group I am thinking about volunteering for is Alley Cat Allies. They have a base camp just north of Louisiana and will be needing volunteers (especially those with knowledge of veterinary medicine) for the next three months!
They provide everything except travel expenses and a sleeping bag. I emailed the person in charge and am awaiting a response. They might have reached their quota of volunteers for the month, who knows!
As crazy as it sounds, I hope this trip pans out.
