I contributed to the Memphis community through the advertisement that there are available and lovable pets that are up for adoption. During this event, I took Melinda, a dog, around the Memphis community and let people know she was available for adoption. We fed her treats and took pictures of her to upload to the MAS website. I served the pets in the Memphis community by giving them a break to get out and experience what adoption would feel like. Additionally, I served the people of Memphis by showing that Melinda is a great dog to adopt. The Memphis Animal Services team was incredibly helpful and enthusiastic about the entire event. I personally have a dog that came from a shelter and feel that the shelter does a great job at getting animals adopted. I learned that Memphis Animal Services regularly does these creative events and enjoys giving volunteers the freedom to come up with ideas for the pets. I also learned that people are very open to pet adoption once they have an opportunity to get to know the pet personally. The overall goal of this organization is to have the pets healthy and adopted by caring families. This goal aligns with the work I did as a volunteer because I advertised Melinda for adoption.
