I am passionate about helping shelter dogs and educating the public about the importance of adopting and training. I've learned ways to calm a dog under stress and tell when a dog may become aggressive. I've learned lots of things from this volunteer job.I've learned how to handle dogs in close proximity to other dogs and in large noisy environments. We depend upon your monetary and material donations to help us continue to care for the many animals that come to us each year.

Donations always make a difference and especially now. It is a great way to advertise the wonderful dogs available for adoption.Ĭo-workers at the shelter are so compassionate and giving of their time and energy. All dogs and cats living in Orange County must be licensed within 30 days of acquisition. If you locate a stray, found, or dead animal, please call Orange County Animal Cares Service Request Line at 71 and OC Animal Care will pick up the. The shelter brings the dogs to the parade route and we each take a dog through the streets and show the dog off to a large public audience. Walking dogs in the Christmas parade is so fun. Meet and Greet in the community entails choosing a dog that is eligible for adoption and gathering supplies to take the dog to a local establishment that will allow us to introduce the dog to the community. I try to walk as many dogs as possible during my typical 2 hour shift. After each visit with a dog, I log information about the dog and get another dog.

A typical day at work when walking dogs includes getting an individual dog and walking that dog around the outside property of the Orange County Animal Shelter. Deceased Animals: To report deceased animal(s) in the street or public right of way and to request their removal, please contact the Orange County Animal.
