Why volunteer?
Volunteering has many rewards both for yourself and the dogs. Spending time walking or playing with a dog besides giving the dog the joy of human companionship, which brings immediate rewards, the smiling face and the wagging tail. It also helps the dog to become comfortable around people and more adoptable. Small contributions, a few hours a week or month can have a big impact on a dog’s attitude and life.
For the volunteers, the rewards are inestimable, watching a shy , frightened dog become loving and trusting right before your eyes, is a feeling you never forget. And there are many unexpected benefits. You get to meet new friends who have a shared interest. Petting an animal releases stress. Walking and playing with a dog is good exercise. In short, volunteering is good for the body and soul!
