MARION COUNTY, Ore. (KOIN) — If you want to spend time with a dog but not ready to own one, Marion County Dog Services is providing a way.
The animal shelter put out a call for dog walkers as the summer weather heats up. According to the shelter, there are several openings on the schedule.
People are also encouraged to sign up for a “Volunteer Pack” walk, where volunteers can take a dog and walk around the marsh areas next to the dog shelter.
“We have a few great dogs who would love the outing,” said Marion County Dog Services.
The shelter is also looking for volunteer t-shirt designs for a chance to have the artwork on the MCDS volunteer t-shirt.
“Create a cute slogan, draw an adorable portrait of a volunteer and a shelter dog. The possibilities are endless,” explained the shelter. “All submissions must be received by July 31st.”
People can send their design by email to JDeckard@co.marion.or.us or by mail to 3550 Aumsville Hwy. S.E. Salem, OR 97317.
