A:

Here are some things you can do to help out:

  1. Bathe or groom the dogs
  2. Socialize or train them with treats (bring your own treats, if possible, because we don’t always have them)
  3. Play with the cats, trim their nails, clean their ears, or give them a wipe down
  4. Sweep the grounds and pick up dog poop (not much fun, but a necessary chore)
  5. Wash doggie beds and crates
  6. Take photos for our social media posts and newsletters.

A:

  1. Please bring your own food. The nearest store for snacks is 5 minutes away on foot. The nearest restaurant for meals is 15 minutes away by car.
  2. For your safety and comfort, please wear closed shoes.
  3. A change of clothes would be a good idea, especially for those who want to give the dogs a bath.
