Make a difference: Get your dog fix at the vet clinic
July 2nd, 2009

   Some veterinary clinics also do pet rescue, which overburdens staff already tasked with caring for patients. When there isn’t a no-kill shelter in the area or the shelter is full, most vets do their best to care for and find homes for abandoned pets. Having a volunteer come in to spend time with rescue animals, especially on weekends, allows the doctor and their staff to concentrate on getting their patients well while the volunteer deals with the rescue pets. Veterinary schools and hospitals often face the same quandary and would welcome volunteers to help care for pets abandoned at their facility. You get to spend time with dogs and make a difference in the lives of homeless pets.

by Sheryl Matthys, The Dog Expert

   1) Adopt a dog – Be a hero!

2) Participate in dog training classes, agility, Reiki, dog therapy, T-touch. A great way to learn something for you and your dog while meeting others.

3) Talk with your dog. Dogs don’t judge what you say and they won’t throw it back in your lap later.

4) Walk with your dog. Dogs need about 30 minutes of exercise everyday and so do you!

5) Socialize with your dog. Dogs are the perfect ice-breakers – take part in social communities like Dogster and LeashesandLovers to make more connections with dog lovers world-wide.
