Volunteer: Dog HikersHigh Country Humane is looking for some extra help in providing our wonderful dogs some extra enrichment. We oftentimes have 80+ dogs onsite, and only limited staff to provide a healthy, safe, and enriching environment for these dogs. Some of our long-timers or high energy breeds desperately need more than what we can give, so this is your opportunity to help give our dogs a much needed break from the stressful surroundings of a shelter environment! To take one of our dogs on a hike, you do not need to complete volunteer orientation or undergo any training. It is as simple as coming to the shelter, telling front desk you would like to take a dog on a hike, signing out the dog, and then having a great time walking, cuddling, and exploring with the dog! It is really up to you where you go with the dog once you are offsite, all we ask is that you keep the dog on a leash at all times unless inside of a controlled environment such as your house. If you plan on going to a more populated area or going inside of dog-friendly stores, make sure to communicate that with dog team staff when discussing what dog you will be taking! If it will be your first time taking a dog on a hike, please come between our opening hours of 11am-5pm. Feel free to reach out to volunteer@highcountryhumane.org with any questions. Thank you!
