It seems to me there are a couple of issues here. I don't think a shelter wants just any JoeBloe walking in one day to say "hey I'd like to help by walking your dogs". The shelter needs to know something about its volunteers though a criminal check might be a bit much. If someone has been volunteering at a shelter for some time so the staff knows them and now new policies are being put into effect, then the shelter should have some sort of informational meeting/handout for all its volunteers so they know what and why. And even when volunteers have been accepted, some mini-training should be included for handling dogs. Many shelter dogs have been abused so I wouldn't want a volunteer who grew up under the "old" system of training with spanking and collar yerking now handling a special needs dog. Actual certification for dog walkers - no - the government intrudes enough.

So what are you saying, that you don't want to be friends with any of them?

I never said I was right…I do, after all, drive a truck and associate with a nut-case dog.:D

Ok, so I think they are funny, but I feel bad saying that, because I feel sorry for the critters in the costumes.
We are crude as people, we like to laugh at others expense, even our own beloved, "do anything for you, won't ask for much in return" pet….Happy Candy eatin' day to all of you....Shoot, Happy candy eatin weekend to all of you, I know how it is with candy in the house, it has to be eaten until it is gone..right?
At least I have that disease.. -
I have to admit that I like the one with the alligator/crocodile. And if the one with the dog skeleton glowed in the dark that would be cool. But overall, I think it's :eek:

I like the dog in the fish costume drinking from the lake.
