Asked to help with evalutations

[Debbieg]

Today I was asked to be part of a three person tag team to evaluate GSD's at a kill shelter in a near by city, pull them an place them into rescue. I said yes and will shadow one of the other members to learn what to do. I will be the on call person on my day off ,when the other two are working.

Has anyone done this? What should I expect? I am sure it varied for each shelter and rescue.

I am hoping to do some good for these dogs.

All the time. Thank you for helping out in this wonderful way! Having a good shelter evaluation is essential to getting dogs moving. Hopefully they will provide you with a checklist of things to look for and check.

Most important piece of information: trust your gut and never let your guard down. A good DVD to watch before you begin is The Language of Dogs.
