<div dir="ltr">Hey guys! This message is really just for people who do dog walking. If that's not an event you do or think you might do in the future then you can ignore this message. If you do do dog walking, please read this message from the shelter! These are just some updates and reminders that the shelter wants all of their volunteers to be aware of so that the puppers stay safe and well taken care of! This isn't directed at APhiO volunteers in particular, just a reminder for all volunteers. <div><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Ward, Ashley</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:award@athensoh.org">award@athensoh.org</a>></span><br>Date: Sat, Oct 22, 2016 at 9:59 AM<br>Subject: Volunteer Issues and Concerns<br>To: AphiO Service <<a href="mailto:service.aphiodeltagamma@gmail.com">service.aphiodeltagamma@gmail.com</a>><br><br><br><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#741b47">Hello,</div><div style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#741b47"><br></div><div style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#741b47">This email is going out to all of the Ohio University groups that volunteer at our shelter. We have been having increasingly more problems with volunteers. We have been unable to determine which groups the volunteers are coming from so we wanted to send the information out to everyone. </div><div style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#741b47"><br></div><div style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#741b47">First, All volunteers MUST come in person to fill out their form. Forms are approved on Tuesdays. No one can volunteer until their form is approved. (This has actually gotten slightly better.)</div><div style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#741b47"><br></div><div style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#741b47">Second, when your volunteers come in to fill out their forms, they receive a "rules and expectations" sheet. On this handout, it clearly states the NO TWO DOGS can ever be outside together at any time. NEVER have two dogs together. We would appreciate it if you would go over this several times in your meetings. </div><div style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#741b47"><br></div><div style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#741b47">In the last 3 weeks we have had several (more than 3) dog fights caused by volunteers. This has resulted in a seriously injured dog that is now unable to be adopted because of his injuries. He has been seen by a vet and will continue to be cared for until he heals so that he can be adopted out. </div><div style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#741b47"><br></div><div style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#741b47">If we continue to have these problems, the volunteers causing them will be asked to leave the shelter permanently. </div><div style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#741b47"><br></div><div style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#741b47">Lastly, some of you are really good at teaching your volunteers how to volunteer here. You are not limited to walking dogs. In fact, you can bathe dogs and help clean the shelter. This is very much appreciated by everyone who comes to the shelter. </div><div style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#741b47"><br></div><div style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#741b47">We use slip leashes as you all know. Its very helpful if you teach your volunteers how to use them. </div><div style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#741b47"><br></div><div style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#741b47">Thank you so much,</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="m_5306130934616754166gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div style="text-align:left"><span style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><b><font color="#351c75"> Ashley Ward</font></b></span></div><div style="text-align:left"><font face="garamond, serif" size="2" color="#351c75"><i style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><b>Kennel Keeper/Asst.
