🐾🚶‍♀️ It’s National Walk a Dog Week! 🚶‍♂️🐾

Did you know one of the best ways to volunteer at the shelter is as simple as taking a dog for a walk? 🐕💛

Every step you take with a shelter pup isn’t just exercise, it’s enrichment. Walks give our dogs:
✨ Fresh air and sunshine
✨ A break from the kennel
✨ Mental stimulation through new sights and smells
✨ Bonding time with a friendly face (that’s YOU!)

Whether you’ve got 30 minutes or a whole afternoon, walking our shelter dogs makes a huge difference in their happiness and adoptability. Plus—it’s a win-win: you get fresh air, a wagging tail by your side, and the joy of knowing you made a dog’s day brighter. 🐶💖

📅 Stop by Lumpkin County Animal Shelter to volunteer as a dog walker. You might just find your new best friend along the way.

👉 Share this post to spread the word and help us give every shelter dogs the walk (and love) they deserve!
