The Cherokee County Animal Shelter is looking for volunteers to help with an innovative program to train shelter dogs so that they will be better candidates for adoption.
Volunteers will act as instructors for Doggie U Volunteers and will need to commit at least two Saturdays per month that they can work at the shelter for an hour or two to train dogs. No experience in dog training is required.
For more information, or to volunteer, contact Bob and Beth O'Brien at 678-445-4544 or go to www.doggieu.org.
We are volunteers for the Cherokee County Humane Society and for the Cobb County Animal Shelter.
