The Dog Walking position is an extremely important volunteer function. Walkers provide much needed exercise and a potty break for dogs housed at the shelter. Dog Walkers work as a team to get all of the adoptable dogs out. New volunteers will handle "Level 1" dogs (easiest to manage), while more experienced volunteers will handle "Level 2" dogs.
Walking shifts are 8-10am and 4-6pm every day of the year.
