To our new walkers who may not know how to begin, just hit Reply on this email or send a new one to me at jeckert30@comcast.net and tell me when you would like to start.
**********************************
Dog Walking Schedule:
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.
**Reactive dogs? Give them a ball or toy to carry as you take them out.****
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 try to notify me of your walking plans by Sunday night each week, if possible. You may also call, e-mail, or text me at 709-4140 by 8:30 a.m. on the day you wish to come in. I will then put you on the schedule and notify the shelter. You may come in as long as there aren't already the maximum number of walkers on that particular day or shift.
Maximum number of walkers in the morning is 6 at one time, 4 in the afternoon.
Please make sure no dogs are left outside or in the met-and-greet room when the last volunteer leaves.
PLEASE do not block the mailbox when you come in to walk dogs!Leave enough space for the mail truck to pull in and out
leaving one on at the end of the day, and always take off harnesses. Never leave one on at the end of the day. Thanks so much.***

Please help by printing and hanging this flyer to help advertise our Shelter and wonderful pets for adoption. Simply pin on a bulletin board at your local library, post office, town hall, laundry mat, etc. or ask a store owner, restaurant, if you can hang in their window or wall. More exposure means more adoptions. Pass on to a friend to place one somewhere as well, the more the better!

If you’d like to make it two-sided for hanging in a window, print two, place back to back and tape together in the middle.
Also, it’s not necessary, but if you’d like to laminate a flyer they have laminate pouches at Staples and Office Max.
Thank you for getting the word out for our pets waiting for their forever home.
We have a new "Special Project" classification as the weather warms up and the dogs are put outside in the runs. Volunteers would sign in as usual and be on the schedule, but they would not walk dogs. Their only duty is to sit outside when the dogs are in the runs and keep an eye on them so others are free to walk, mornings only when the public isn't around. This change is perfect for experienced volunteers who don't feel comfortable walking the tough guys on any particular day.
Email me if you would be interested in sitting in the sun with the dogs.

When friends shop, they'll help Friends of Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter or their own favorite cause. Why not let them take advantage of over 1,400 stores that want to help?
The average shopper is raising over $30 - $100 a year for their cause ... all for free.
It's simple and automatic..
Five bucks free, just for trying us out.
The more iGive members, the better the deals we can get from stores.
Spread your iGive link everywhere (Facebook's a great way, but Twitter, e-mail, blogs, bulletin boards, and handouts all work).

ATTENTION ALL DOG WALKERS:
Effective Sunday, July 23, 2017 all dog walkers will be responsible for their own scheduling. Joanne Eckert will no longer be scheduling dog walkers. It will be done through the Friends of Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter website – www.fosocas.org
Please follow these steps to schedule yourself:
1.Go to www.fosocas.org
2.From a laptop or computer, click on Programs, select Dog Walking Sign Up from the drop down menu. From mobile devices - phones and tablets - click on the 3 little horizontal lines in the upper right corner to view the headings and then click on the down arrow to the right of Programs to open the drop down menu, select Dog Walking Sign Up.
3.Click on Google Calendar to open the sign up form.
4.Beneath the beautiful, snowy picture enter your name, date and start/end times. You have the ability to enter up to three dates, but must enter at least one.
5.Click SUBMIT
After approximately 15 minutes, your information will appear on the Dog Walking Schedule, viewable by clicking on that heading from the same drop down menu. If you click on AGENDA in the upper right corner of the calendar a list of dates, names and start times will open. If you click on a name, from either the calendar or the list, the start and end times will open. REMEMBER: 6 walkers in the AM and 4 walkers in the PM! We are responsible to monitor ourselves and abide by these numbers. Do not sign up to walk if a shift is full; however, remember to check the start and end times because part of a shift may be available.
Please do not schedule yourself unless you are sure that you can walk. Of course, situations arise where you may have to remove yourself from the schedule. It must be done by e-mailing the webmaster at webmaster@fosocas.org. If it’s really last minute, please call the shelter at 609-978-0127 or call/text someone who you know is walking.
Another change taking place is there will no longer be a “Blog/Newsletter”. Adoptions and other newsworthy events will be posted on the Friends Facebook page.
Those of you who know me well, know that I have resisted joining Facebook. But, the time has come and I will join you there shortly. These changes are new and, with anything new, comes questions and likely some confusion. Please do not hesitate to share your experience with this new way of doing business. Maureen Flaherty has worked tirelessly to pull this together using the website and we recognize that some fine tuning as we work with it may be necessary.
I also ask that each of you send a THANK YOU out to Joanne for her years of work with the “Blog/Newsletter” and scheduling. She deserves our thanks and appreciation.
