On any given day, we’re caring for 200 to 300 dogs at the Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center.
Every one of them needs a walk, fresh air, and one-on-one time out of their kennel. When our neighbors step in to help, it changes everything for these dogs.
If you have ever thought about volunteering and getting involved within your community, this is a great place to start!
Community Volunteer Dog walkers are needed from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. at the Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center in Columbus, Ohio. No experience? No problem! Shelter staff will be with you every step of the way.
From selecting an appropriate dog to walk, to providing you with waste bags, treats and harness leads, we will happily assist and provide everything you need for the best possible experience and time spent walking our dogs.
(**Please leave personal leashes and collars at home.**)
VOLUNTEER DOG WALKERS: Upon arrival, please head around back to the large fully fenced in walking yard, located in the rear of the building, enter through the gate and check in at the registration table.
(The walking yard will be on your right as you enter our driveway and is fully fenced with black wrought iron fencing. You wont be able to miss us!)
-> Wear tennis shoes (or other comfortable, sturdy walking shoes) as well as weather appropriate and comfy clothes.
-> Be sure to have your camera ready to snap photos of our adorable adoptables!
Please TAG us and use hashtag #FCDSAdoptables for all social posts.
-> This is a family friendly event! Primary dog walkers must be 18 years of age or older.
