There was no doctor in today, so there are no newly walkable dogs. A vet will be in tomorrow.
*********************************************************
I will be at Uncle Will's tomorrow at the shelter's closing time, so there will be no blog tomorrow. I hope to see many of you there!

From Connie:
Hi
Dog Walkers, If you will, please get the days and times you will be
able to walk dogs in the upcoming week to Joanne Eckert no later than
Sunday night each week. I need to turn in the schedule to the HD on
Monday mornings. Thanks so much for volunteering your time for the
animals! It is greatly appreciated!!
**********************************************************
Love
our dogs? Then adopt one as a Shelter Pup and FRIENDS will get a
portion of the sale! Shelter Pups has turned a select group of dogs from
our shelter into amazing and realistic plush pups. Check out Casper and
wonderful Sherman! It's a great way to “adopt” one of our dogs and help
our volunteer FRIENDS group at the same time. Shelter Pups can also
make customs of your very own dog. Check it out and bring one of our
dogs home as a Shelter Pup!
**************************************
***************************************************
All
new walkers may walk green dogs on their own once they have gone
through orientation. New walkers may walk yellow dogs once they have
been with a red walker and told by the red walker they are okay to move
on.
***********EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY***********
All volunteers must wear either their ID badge or a volunteer T-shirt.
************************************************
It's
mosquito season! Please be sure to empty the kiddie pools and bring in
any blankets or towels left outside before you leave in the afternoon.
Green walkers please look for volunteers with the red dot on their badge. They will help you with anything you need.
****************************************************************
From SOCAF Management:
All dogs need to be walked with two leashes at all times, whether they are being walked from the pen to their runs, or just a few feet. No excuses, please!
The dogs must be on county property at all times when being walked. They cannot be walked IN the street or across the street.
Smoking is not allowed while walking dogs.
**********************************************************
TO ALL VOLUNTEERS:
If
you see a dog limping, notice a lump, blood in the stool, etc.,
anything out of the ordinary, or if there is an incident with the dog,
be sure to notify the supervisors, document the incident, and put it
into the dog's file, keeping a copy for yourself.
********************************************************
Dog Walking Schedule:
Please check the dog-walking schedule below.
There are many days and time slots with little or no coverage.
Please e-mail me with the days and times you are able to cover.
If no one can cover, the dogs will either not get out in the morning or have to go back inside early on those days.
The
minimum number of walkers needed by 9:00 a.m. is two in order to handle
the task of getting dogs out for their first morning walk.
Volunteers
are really needed early in the morning, 9:00 a.m. every day! Even if
you can only help for a half hour or an hour, it would help.
The
dogs are color coded. New volunteers may NOT walk Red dogs. Please
pay attention to the color coding and the cage cards. Red walkers'
names in red type.
***************************
Important: Please do not sign up for a shift if you aren't sure you can make it!
Other volunteers come in if there isn't enough coverage. Some people
have signed up for shifts and have been either late or not shown up at
all. We really need at least two people early in the morning--9:00--to
get everyone out.
*Please make sure you notify me of your walking plans by Sunday night each week! This morning, 4 people were scheduled, yet 7 showed up.
Maximum number of walkers in the morning is 6 at one time, 4 in the afternoon.*

FOSTER HELP NEEDED!!!
From Susan:
We
are looking for volunteers to foster cats that need medical attention.
Medicine is usually administered from between 10-14 days. This is not a
very difficult thing to do. You need a separate room to keep the cat
away from your pets.
**********************************************************
KITTEN FOSTERS NEEDED
If interested in helping out, please contact the shelter at socaf@ochd.org.
From Susan:
To
all volunteers who wish to socialize with the cats when I am not there,
PLEASE take only one cat out at a time. Cats that should not be taken
out have an X with a circle around the X. These cats need time to adjust to the shelter.
Thank You, Susan
SOCAF's Gallery of Glorious Cats
Special Thanks to Amy and Jennifer for taking these pics and for keeping us updated as to which cats are where.
