ANIMALS: Adoption Event Dog Handlers in Miramar
Help dogs find their forever homes by volunteering at an adoption event with A Way Home for Dogs. The more hands they have, the more dogs get to attend since they do not place dogs in enclosures at adoption events. They have a 1 dog per handler ratio and all dogs are on a leash.
This event takes place at the Vegan Food Pop-Up in Mira Mesa. Volunteers will hold a dog's leash and wander around the general vicinity. Otherwise, this is a sedentary volunteer opportunity. Chairs are provided to sit under canopies.
ALL VOLUNTEERS ARE REQUIRED TO STAY FOR THE ENTIRE EVENT. THERE IS ALSO A STRICT NO-PHONE OR HEADPHONE POLICY FOR EVERYONE'S SAFETY.

Hold leash and supervise assigned dogs throughout the event
