Challenges
If volunteers don’t handle dogs correctly, it could lead to problems with loose animals. Animals might not be trained enough for potential adopters. The long term goal is to adopt out as many dogs as possible to make more room. They need training and socializing. The job aid below is meant to be used on-the-job as volunteers are learning.

Job aid meant for newly trained volunteers to refer to when working with dogs. These are the general steps required to safely walk a shelter dog. The job aid accompanies a short learning module training.
