These shifts can be done any day of the week at any time we are open. For any volunteer that can be here on a regular basis, our Dog Mentor, Jo, will try to coordinate shifts with you to ensure the dogs are taken out multiple times a day by various staff and volunteers. Some duties included are:
- Taking dogs for walks or for play time in outdoor kennels
- Ensuring their blankets and kennels are clean before putting them back into their kennel
- Refilling water as needed
- Teaching the dogs good manners while on a leash and while interacting with people
- Grooming dogs to make them more comfortable and cleaner for adopters
- Provide bios to our Volunteer Coordinator for use on social media and websites
