Dog cleaning is one of the many important tasks that need to be performed daily! Our kennel cleaning process may vary depending upon the mess each morning; however, the daily necessities performed will include mopping the walls, doors, and bars in each kennel, as well as swapping out water bowls and doing dishes. Volunteers may need to be able to lift up to 50 lbs on occasion, be able to perform repetitive actions, and must be able to handle the smell of dog feces/vomit.
