Alanie volunteered in our dog walking/cat socialization program for teens at the animal shelter during May and June, 2019. Often, volunteers are walking dogs that they are meeting for the first time. Alanie handled these walks well and often chose our larger, more active dogs that required a friendly, but confident approach. Alanie followed all the rules and guidelines intended to promote the healthy and safety of both the shelter dogs and the people around them. I would recommend Alanie for being physically able to handle many dogs; for taking her time with dogs experiencing new things; and for communicating her experiences with the dogs under her charge to her adult supervisors
