Franklin County Dog Shelter & Adoption Shelter

Details:

Franklin County Dog Shelter & Adoption Center is committed to saving lives. Their shelter is the largest county shelter in Ohio. Last year they took in over 9,000 dogs and puppies, including all stray dogs in the county as well as owner surrenders and unwanted litters of puppies.

Join Besa and FCDSAC to support local shelter dogs. As a volunteer, you'll may help with a variety task, including: making enrichment toys, such as "pupsicles" and snuffle mats, helping provide a clean environment for the pups.  Depending on the weather and dog population at the shelter, volunteers may also have the opportunity to exercise and walk dogs. Enrichment toys, a clean space, and walks provide entertainment and comfort for dogs, which reduces stress while living in shelter environments. Less stress results in happier, more adoptable animals.

• A lead volunteer from FCDSAC will provide a brief training and orientation
• This is a teen-friendly opportunity, but all minors must be accompanied by an adult. You must be at least 18 to walk a dog.
• Closed-toe shoes are required.
• We encourage wearing clothing that you don't mind getting dirty
• Please dress for the weather as walks will be outside. FCDSAC encourages wearing layers and clothing with pockets. 
• This event is not recommended for those with a peanut allergy.
• Parking is available in the surface lot.
• This event is ADA accessible. 
• Court-appointed volunteering: At this time, we can not accept court-appointed requests.
