SOMA Kindness: The East Orange Animal Shelter is looking for volunteer dog walkers to ensure that they can get pups out on walk days, which are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, from 10am – 1pm (though we are typically done by 12/12:30.) It is NOT necessary to commit to all 3 days. The goal is to have a roster of walkers so they can do a rotation. Dog walking experience required, preferably with strong dogs (think pittie mixes). Must be 18+ and we will ask you to sign a waiver. Please email info@eoanimalalliance.com if you can help, or if you have any questions!
