Tiga's_mom Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Hi everyone! I've been traveling like crazy and I miss home terribly. Right now I'm in Greenville, SC and heading to Florida later on this week (Clearwater, Coral Springs, Sarasota and West Palm Beach). I was wondering if any of you know of any rescue groups that look for volunteers to walk dogs? There are 3 of us and we could all use some doggie loving time. Thanks!

Tiga's_mom Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I'm also wondering if there are any cool pet stores that I could find some neat toys to send home for Tiga. I'd like to find something that I can't get in Canada and that will challenge his BC mind. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Anda Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Tammy, do you have Petsmart in Canada? (dumb question, but still ) If not, that would be a great place to go while in US. It's doggie heaven when it comes to toys and there are stores everywhere! You can check it up online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSnappy Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 offer your services to a shelter. I assume that most other rescues, like us, are run out of volunteer foster homes. I don't need volunteers coming to walk dogs that are already living in someone's house. However, shelter dogs are generally very grateful for the opportunity to get out of the kennel for a walk. We do have PetSmart in Canada. RDM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCBERRI Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I second the shelter route. Most of our local ones are always asking for walkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiga's_mom Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Cool, thanks everyone, I'll look into the shelters for sure. I'm sure there's a PetSmart in Canada, but not in the area that I live. I'll have a look around for that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon M Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Yeah, I used to walk dogs at a humane society back in my home town. That would be your best bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiga's_mom Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 It's cool actually, I went to see a show tonight in Greenville and before the show we were doing a puppet demonstration and I found out the humane society was outside of the building with puppies, so of course I went out to get my puppy fix. I found out that they are on the same street as my hotel so I'm going to walk dogs tomorrow! And there's a PetSmart not far from the hotel as well! Tomorrow is going to be a doggy day!
