Hi All - I live in Columbia Heights and recently adopted a 8.5 month old pitbull. Does anyone have suggestions regarding local training classes or other training options? Any advice you may have would be greatly appreciated!
I'd like to start volunteering with an animal shelter. Can anyone recommend an animal shelter they've had good experiences with? Has anyone had good experiences at/volunteering at adoption events run by shelters? Or know of dog walking programs? Are there any shelters I should avoid?
I live in DC, so in the district is ideal but NoVA and MD aren't out of the question. I have a car, but if public transportation is available I'd opt for that.
I'm hoping to volunteer in a way where I get to interact with animals, especially dogs. Basically, I don't want to clean cages or do admin work and not get to interact with the animals. If I could avoid cleaning cages and doing admin work and still get to hang out with the animals, that would be even better.
Thank you!
