I don't have my own pup, so "borrowing" a shelter dog to take out is an enticing idea!! It would benefit me AND the dog! :) I really love the idea of taking a dog out for a walk!

At our local SPCA they are always looking for people to take the dogs out for walks to get them some exercise. Those are all great ideas.

We had one last Saturday and had 15 more volunteers show up than usually do on a Saturday morning. We did a deep cleaning of all the kennels, including steam cleaning the floors and walls, and we scrubbed down all of the area walkways, weeded, and did other general maintenance to help our yards, kennels, walkways, and other areas where potential adopters might go. It makes a big difference to present the dogs in a clean, comfortable, happy environment. The rescue organization that I volunteer with has a big clean up event once a quarter.

That is sad if a dog doesn't have a toy to play with. Good point about the toys, Jan. That is sad if a dog doesn’t have a toy to play with.

You may not be able to adopt them 24/24, but you keeping them social only increases their chances of finding a good family of their own. I liked the fostering idea thing!
