Some areas of volunteering that need participants BADLY:
- Kong toys
(clean, stuff, and distribute daily)! Kongs are a valuable
entertainment and stimulation tool for the dogs at the shelter.
See
Lou
or Gina to sign up for kong training, or
email Lou
to volunteer.
- Fostering sick puppies.
Many of our dogs need time and love to help them recover from kennel
cough, a common upper respiratory infection. All these dogs need more
time to get well, but they can go home with meds & recover quicker, too!
Call Erin at 462-5357 or visit the Franklin County Dog Shelter to learn
more.
- Donations especially
leashes, treats, newspaper, or smooth peanut butter.
- Additional Adoption
Counselors to help with customers Weekdays 5-7 and anytime on Saturday
or Sunday afternoons
