Dog Volunteer Training

*****************************************************************************

Classes will start showing up in July. Watch the pages for updates.

*****************************************************************************

There are three dog volunteer classes. The first class for all volunteers is the Green Dog Volunteer Class. You must attend a general orientation session at the Paws and Claws Shelter to be eligible for green dog training. And, you must go through Green Dog Training before taking the next two classes. The second class is the Purple Dog Volunteer Class. Once you have completed the Purple Dog Volunteer Class you can take the Exercise Dog Volunteer Class.
