My expectations before going to the human society was to just go and expect seeing animals of all different kinds. I enjoyed the most a point where I got to touch two dogs. My visit was good, I saw all kinds of dogs, cats, birds, and bunnies. Some dogs were so cute and some were just weird looking. I saw mostly pit bull dogs and mixed. I felt bad for most of the dogs because they were shy or excited to see people. They where in cages that were small ugly and smelly. A way that I bet we can help these little creatures is by either donating money or maybe even adopting one of them. I believe that genetic engineering can help because they can stop spurring so many dogs.
When we go on a fieldtrip I believe that we be on our best behavior. If we aren’t on our best behavior it is going to be very rare when we do go on fieldtrips. To me it was not hard at all to act on my best behavior I am a person who was taught to act appropriate where ever I go. I believe that everyone that went on the fieldtrip that was in my group did a very good job in behavior wise. I believe that the group that I was in can behave very good with no complains from the place we are visiting. Next time I will behave the same I did on the fieldtrip good and on my best behavior.
I learned that people torture dogs in so many different ways. I saw that there was a couple of dogs that you can tell they just had puppies. I bet that they got the puppies and sold them and then left the mother on the streets. I hope that people will start recognizing that an animals are just like humans. Animals also have feelings they just can’t explain it like us humans. I really hope that all this violence with animals as well as with humans stops because it doesn’t just effect the person or thing you are doing it to. It affects the whole world.

My expectations before going to the Humane Society and the dog pound were that they were going to be really dirty places and were going to be over crowded. What I enjoyed the most was seeing all the dogs and all the different breeds. What I saw was different breeds off dogs puppies and old dogs. The breed that was the most common there was the pit bull. There was mostly female pit bulls and why I think that is, is because they use the female pit bulls to have puppies so that they can sell them and then they don’t want the dog no more. What we can do to help is instead of buying dogs from the street adopt one from the dog pound. The pattern of dogs there was they had a lot of pit bulls they had labs and a lot of small dogs. I think that breeding dogs for skills can be a good idea but not sometimes because when you breed dogs together a lot they have a lot of medical problems.
When you are out on a field trip you should act responsible. For me it was not hard at all to act in appropriate behavior. Next time I will behave in the same way as I did. My behavior on the field trip was good and it was appropriate. I did not notice any inappropriate behaviors from me or anyone else. Yes I do think that the group can behave well and be trusted to go on other fieldtrips.
My final thought is that I liked going to visit the dogs at the Humane society and the dog pound. What I learned from this experience is that there are a lot of dogs out there that need homes.

My expectations before going to the human society were I wanted to see how it really was I had never been to a dog pound before. My favorite part of the trip that I enjoyed the most was when the dog was practically talking to us but it was also very sad. My visit to the pound was awesome I saw many animals cats , dogs, birds, bunnies but I felt bad because even though they look nice there stuck they're locked in a cage its sad you could feel there sadness. The most common breeds were the pit bulls I think because they don’t give you insurance for those dogs or because there has been a lot of bad stories that people are just frightened about those dogs that nobody wants them. Maybe give some donations or go visit more often so we can play with even if its from outside the cage I’m sure they enjoy it better than being alone. Some dogs had patterns with other dogs there was a dog that looked like a Chihuahua. I think breeding dogs is a good thing if your going to take care of them but if you not then don’t even bother. I think we all behaved like we were supposed to that’s exactly how you are suppose to behave its not hard to behave good at all next time should be the same I think this group is capable of going to many other trip.

My expectations were to see a bunch of dogs that were beaten and lonely, but gladly I only seen it in a couple of dogs. I enjoyed looking at the dogs the most because I like to play with dogs a lot. My first visit was pretty cool, if I ever want to buy a dog I'm going there. I think the most breeds that were there were pit bulls and boxers, for what reason? I do not know. I didn’t really see a pattern but there could have been one. It could be if there are not used or anything that could hurt them, but if its something they enjoy doing then why ask.
You should act mature. No it is not hard to behave in an appropriate way. I sill behave the same way I did on this field trip because I thought I acted o.k.

When we were driving on the way to the human society dog pound my expectations before entering was, that the dog pound was just a dirty old place were they kept dogs and help them get healthy so they can be adopted and put in a good home. The most thing I enjoyed was seeing the Akita the dog that I did my dog project on, he was so beautiful I wanted to take him home with me so bad but he was already adopted. But I enjoyed the time I spent petting and talking to him. The visit to the human society was nice but also sad I felt bad for the dogs they looked lost and lonely. Especially the baby’s they just sit there and cry and whimper. But otherwise it was nice. The most common breed that I seen there was the female pit-bull. I think they were the most common breed there because owners just use them to breed puppies and just let the mother go and sell the puppies. The way we can help these dogs is to adopt them and put them in good homes so they can be cared for and loved. Yes, there were many different patterns of dogs that I seen there was pit bulls, German shepherds, beagles, mixed breeds and more. Yes, I think breeding the dogs for good skills is a good idea because they can reproduce more dogs. I think when we go on field trips we should behave in a normal matter follow instructions listen to the teacher and follow the adult at all times don’t wonder off by yourself that a no no. No, It wasn’t hard to behave in appropriate behavior for me I mean it’s simple rules to follow I mean if you can’t follow them then you shouldn’t be in miss Jade class because her class is for young adults getting ready for the future no babies so yes it was easy for me just follow instruction and you won’t have any problems. I would behave the same, following instructions, listening to the teacher ECT. My behavior I think was very good on the field trip I followed instructions and listened to the teacher so I think I did well. Yes my behavior was very appropriate it’s the way ever young adult should behave lol. No everyone had appropriate behavior I think Miss Jade didn’t have to yell at us so we did well. Yes I think our group can handle going on field trips were a pretty good group everyone listened and participated in the activity. The human society dog pound was a very nice experience for me I enjoyed the trip. We should go on field trips more often. I learned that dogs can really be good friends to a man or a woman and all dogs are actually not that bad if you give them a chance they just want someone to love them and have a nice home.
