My Work With Shelter Dogs

Hey All,

I got pretty stressed out while studying for the bar exam back in 2015, so I decided to get out of my little bubble by walking dogs at my local shelter. I loved it, and I've been doing it ever since. The Franklin County Dog Shelter (in Columbus) does a fantastic job of getting their dogs to good homes. Although it's not a no-kill shelter, I think our adoption rate hovers around 90%.

Below are some pics of dogs I've gotten to know over the years (all of which have since been adopted):

You'll notice there are lots of pitbull-esque dogs at the shelter. It's unfortunate that so many morons like to own/breed these dogs. They're a great breed, but they're often born into less-than-ideal circumstances.

Walking the dogs is usually a pretty pleasant experience. It can be a bit nippy around this time of the year, but it's better than sitting around.

Walking dogs is really just about keeping them sane and happy, so that they make a good impression on their potential new families.

Thanks for reading, and enjoy the evening, Steemians.
