Dog walking and Volunteer Engagement

Day in the lifeManual and soon-to be electronic sign in

Leash, poop bag

Sign out on whiteboard

Go to a yard

Let them potty and then have fun,

scoop the poop.

Repeat until all dogs have been out twice a day

Every time a dog gets out, their stress level decreases, thus making their kennel behavior more desirable for potential adopters
