I am a part-time HSSV employee but I started as a volunteer. I've made three One Dog Pledges: Ole, Jasper, and Henry (pictured) can count on me to walk them three times a week until they find their forever homes!
The One Dog Pledge
Short on time, short on money, or short on space in your home for another companion? Never fear! There is one BIG way in which you can help! We are looking for dog-savvy volunteer handlers to form one-on-one relationships with our dogs. What this might mean is that you choose a dog at HSSV and commit to walking him or her as often as you can. Once a week? Three times a week? It doesn't matter how often. What matters is consistency. These dogs blossom when they can expect the same friendly face at the end of the leash at regular intervals! By choosing ONE dog to walk, train, love, and work with, you're dramatically impacting that ONE dog's chances of being adopted into a lifelong home. When she finds her family, that frees her volunteer up to make another One Dog Pledge here at HSSV!
