AR: I started adopting pets when I was 3 years
old, and that helped me realized that animals
are living things who deserve a happy life. They
should be treated with respect and love, just
like people. It’s so sad to see them in a shelter,

a good family.

organizations. For many of them, I had to do
long orientations and trainings, but it was
really fun and interesting.“I organize pet
