We balance the needs of our shelter pets daily, while simultaneously taking time to decompress and disconnect from the work we are so proud to be a part of. We experience many competing emotions, often in the same day\u2013 animals injured and abandoned in need of urgent care, pets that are young and fragile who are depending on us for life-saving treatment, as well as animals being chosen by a family to spend the rest of their life with. It is fulfilling, exhausting, inspiring, frustrating\u2013 all at the same time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are reading this, you likely have a connection to Five Acres \u2013 whether you volunteer, adopt, donate \u2013 or all three!
