On Friday mornings, I volunteered at the Pima Animal Care Center as a dog walker. I got involved at the Center through Tucson Ruff Runners. The group’s goal is “to get out and enjoy some fresh air while providing the more energetic shelter dogs with much needed exercise, socialization, training and….most importantly…. a break from their kennels.”
Alastair and I both loved walking the dogs, and for several years we both went regularly, and also fostered on several occasions. I have the greatest respect for those volunteers that continue to volunteer year after year, despite how heart breaking it can be to see what some of these dogs have endured.
