5 Overall Experience   
Volunteering here was such a fun and rewarding experience.

The Wade Adoption Center is an awesome place to volunteer at. The people are so nice and willing to help you with anything, but the best part is the animals. The cats have a little mini house to themselves called the catery. Let me tell you these cats are living the spoiled prince/princess life they were meant to have. After cleaning up a little we got to play with them, and they are super loving cats. The dogs were my personal favorites though. I fell in love with so many of them, and enjoyed spending time with them each week. Everytime I came to the Adoption Center there were new animals to get to know. The other volunteers were awesome, and I highly reccomend that anyone who loves animals to check this place out. I'm sure you will love it! Volunteering my time here was such a rewarding experience by knowing that in some way I am making these animals day by just coming and spending time with them. posted on November 5, 2008
