It seems to me there are a couple of issues here. I don't think a shelter wants just any JoeBloe walking in one day to say "hey I'd like to help by walking your dogs". The shelter needs to know something about its volunteers though a criminal check might be a bit much. If someone has been volunteering at a shelter for some time so the staff knows them and now new policies are being put into effect, then the shelter should have some sort of informational meeting/handout for all its volunteers so they know what and why. And even when volunteers have been accepted, some mini-training should be included for handling dogs. Many shelter dogs have been abused so I wouldn't want a volunteer who grew up under the "old" system of training with spanking and collar yerking now handling a special needs dog. Actual certification for dog walkers - no - the government intrudes enough.
All young ones love the sprinklers not dog related

Sharron, how adorable! At first, I thought "how cool is that to see the baby", then Mom pops up and then a sibling. The people that live there are sooo lucky.

I just wish they had mentioned where they were, my first thought was Alaska, but some of the other states have moose as well.
Glad you all enjoyed this.
