Activities/Requirements:

• Dog Walking Hours: 9am to noon, and 5 to 8pm, every day. Dogs are NOT walked between noon and 5 pm because we want them to be available during adoption hours, so prospective adopters can look at them.
• You should be comfortable with dogs and have a willingness to walk them based on their needs, level of health and fitness.
• You should wear comfortable shoes and clothes that can get dirty.
• You MUST be willing to pick up dog poop — it's the Law, and we are good neighborhood citizens. We will provide ample poop bags.
• You need to sign the volunteer sheet inside the store each time you come.
• You should bring a minimum of personal belongings as we have limited storage space.
