Community Center Class: Making The World A Better Place (Tuesday Evening)
"Last class for the year!" Yang hollered cheerfully. "As the handwavey email said, if you're allergic to animals, I hope you took some OTC drugs, because we're off to an animal shelter!"
Not the one HERE. That was Prompto's territory, and Yang hadn't felt comfortable asking him for that favor. Especially after what she'd heard through the radio about him going on dates.
She'd loved visiting him there when they were bothstupid kids students, and getting covered in puppies. She didn't want to tarnish those memories with a new, awkward one.
Instead, Yang grinned brightly at her gathered party, blonde hair whipping in the winter wind. "So let's get through the portal," she cheered. "On the other side is a branch of the Animal Humane Society."
"As one of the nation's leading animal welfare organizations, the Animal Humane Society is changing the way shelters care for animals, and directly engaging their communities. From innovative medical and behavior programs. to investments in outreach and advocacy, they're advancing animal welfare and creating a more humane world for animals everywhere."
"From offering low-cost vet services like microchipping and neutering, doing trap-neuter-release with feral populations that won't adjust to being pets, to building sliding-scale vet centers in areas that don't have any animal care, they've gone above and beyond 'just' rehoming stray animals. Though they do a lot of that too."
"Today, you've got a bunch of options. Take dogs for walks. Play with cats. Help the groomers bathe these babies to help them find good homes. Interact with the more exotic animals, like birds and lizards and ferrets. Help potential adopters fill out paperwork. Or sort the donations that people drop off."
"But let's go change some lives!"

And yes, absolutely COVERED in dogs. So many dogs.
She misses her dog, and it shows.

Jon spent a bit of time helping adopters fill out paperwork, and maybe asking just a few pointed questions to make sure they had good intentions.
After that, he'd be playing with the cats. And trying to avoid taking one home himself.

"Nothing like a bit of team work eh?" Dwight asked, giving Stark a smile as he scrubbed up a rather fluffy Labrador in the oversized tub.
Re: Volunteer!
Not all of the dogs were overly fond of being bathed, unsurprisingly.
