Fayette SPCA Volunteers
We are in DESPERATE need of building a volunteer animal exercising program. We'd like to begin by taking each animal into an exercise area and basically letting the dog or cat run and play for 10- 15 minutes. Some animals may go crazy and run and run, some might be so scared you may have to just hold them. Others might be too scared to even come out of their cages.
The rewards are many. First and foremost, it is great exercise for both you and the dog. By working with the animals, many learn to walk on a leash for the first time, they learn how to sit, heel and other important commands that make them more adoptable. Animals become calmer and more sociable. All these assets help them find good homes.
Won't you make the commitment to become a volunteer? We ask that you sign up for an hour or more once a week. We walk the dogs six days a week on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM.
All dog walkers must be 18 years or older, sign a waiver, and have one training session. We would like to have enough to walk each animal every day.
Please wear older clothing, good hiking shoes, and be prepared for a little noise! If you are not interested in walking the dogs, perhaps you would consider being a puppy pal or a kitty friend instead.
Please join us. It's a great feeling knowing you are making such a difference in an animal's life!
We hope to see you soon!
