We have a KENNEL on our campus downtown. Sometimes an individual experiencing homelessness will be resistant to shelter if there is not a place for their dog to stay as well. The Bridge wants to make sure everyone has equal access to shelter - even those with furry friends!
Volunteers are needed to help with:- Monitoring pups' water supply and cleanliness
- Taking dogs to play in volunteer dog park
- Picking up dog waste and hosing down dog park area
- Providing companionship for the pups!
- Transporting dogs to and from appointments with Operation Kindness in Carrollton
