I am in my fifties and i always wanted to work with animal, I did not finish H.S and to become a Vet, Asst you have to have a Ged. or H.S. diploma or know a vet. I have a learning disability and going to school would be very rough on me, i cannot ready good and i'm bad at math and the rest of the schooling stuff (history,social study)will not happen. I was sexually abuse for many years by a step brother and i was verbally and physicially abused by my mother. I even put a ad up in Craigs list to volunteer with animals, no one answered. So any advise on what to do ? I'm also looking for friends, I have a few friends , two in Florida and i cannot find the other few i have. Sorry i do not write good. Thank you
Hi friendly1, I'm glad to see you like working with animals. I volunteer at the local animal shelter and I cuddle cats and help socialize them so they get adopted. I also foster cats from time to time.
Have you done a yahoo or google search on animal shelters in your area? That's how I found the one that I volunteer at.
Thank you for responding, I filled out a application at a animal rescue around here (10 miles) no one called me so i think i will try again and see what they say. I kinda live a ways from places,not far and not close. Thanks again.

finding a local animal sanctuary sounds a good place to start or mayb u have neighbours who need a hand dog walking so u can become part of the community and get to know more people that way hon
its never to late to try something new and make friends at any age it just takes time to find the right ones
wishing u luck and fortune
love D :)
Hi D, I will try that and see what is close by. I like your saying there “let me hold your hand until u can walk alone” that is very nice. I just joined the YMCA and line dances are friday night so i hope to make a few friends.Thank you D, The Lonely Friendly1

thats sounds great hon line dancing will/should be fun and i am sure u will meet others who need friends as well, im sure once u get started u will get to expand your social circle in no time and yes i will hold your hand till u can walk alone so come back and tell us all about what u found there
till later love D :)
