WHAT IS SERVICE LEARNING??
Service-learning is a teaching method that combines service
to the community with classroom curriculum. It is
more than merely community service. It is a hands-on
approach to mastering subject material while fostering civic
responsibility.

LOWNDES COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTERHere Is where I spent most of my time. I love animals so this was really fun for me. I walked the dogs, helped visitors that were interested in adopting around, and cleaned anything that needed to be cleaned.

ME AND THE PARROT
I just decided to take a picture with this mean bird that likes to bite people!! As You can see, I was far away from the cage. I didn’t want to get too close.

WALKING THE DOGSHere I was walking the dogs. We were told just to take them out of their cages so they could get a little exercise. These puppies definitely got their exercise, and so did I !!

MY BUDDY This dog and I got along the best. Out of all the dogs I walked this one was the most cooperative. He was calm when I needed him to be and was playful and rambunctious when it was okay to be. I don’t know his name, but I just called him scruffy!

SUCH A CUTIE I got the chance to walk this dog. He’s such a sweet heart. It was hard not to get attached to him.

WHAT I GOT OUT OF MY
EXPERIENCE
I enjoyed my service learning experience. I had fun interacting with the animals at the animal shelter
and meeting new people that worked or volunteered there. The hands-on work was definitely a challenge,
but it was still an awesome experience. I would definitely go back to volunteer there again. I really
enjoyed myself and got a lot out of it. After this experience I feel well rounded and more
experienced .
