We went to the shelter to walk some of the dogs. They have two in each kennel (sometimes up to four, depending on the size of the kennel), poor puppies. Eric and I would take one dog from each kennel and walk him or her for about five minutes. We did this for an hour. Someone had left a collar on one of the dogs, and she somehow got her lower jaw underneath the collar. I noticed her trying to chew something in a very weird way, and realized what was going on. One of the other guys helping out came in and cut the collar off. The poor dog was in obvious discomfort, but she'll be okay.
Overall, it was a sad experience since I know these dogs are probably bored out of their minds (not to mention there are so few volunteers and adopters, so they tend to stand in their own waste until someone is able to clean it up), but it was nice to be able to give them a few minutes of freedom.
