I know what you mean about how some people are only good with dogs and not with people! Sorry you didn't have the best experience. Maybe you can work at a time when that volunteer won't be there. Or maybe there is another shelter that needs volunteers. Either way, I'm sure the dogs and the shelter coordinators appreciated your work! Hi Elle.

Everything you wrote is so true. One thing I've noticed is that the people who volunteer for this are not good with people; they are only good with dogs. I said a friendly hello to an arriving volunteer, and she told me I was too dressed up to walk dogs. I had on the same thing she had on--capris and a knit shirt. What she didn't like was I had on a red khaki jacket that coordinated with the knit shirt. She thought I was wearing it for fashion rather than for warmth. That made me want to get in my car and head out of there. Today I walked dogs at the animal shelter. Everything you wrote is so true.

You just have to ask. When I was in middle school I volunteered to walk dogs with a school group at a humane society and we had an adult come along. Angie, I’m sure you can get involved somehow.

I especially like the idea of finding the purebred dogs in local shelters and calling all the rescues for that specific breed. Your idea to bring all the bigger, more hyper or less attractive dogs to adoption events and dress them up in bandannas and cute clothes is also a great idea. I think it's easy to think of the smaller dogs and bring them because you know they will get adopted. But the truth is those dogs will get adopted anyway, so why not bring some of the older or more obnoxious dogs out? Thanks for your ideas Lori.
