These shoes should never enter your yard or home - again so you don't bring any diseases like parvo home. I would also carry handwipes in the car to clean your hands after you have been in the shelter.
It is a wonderful thing you are going to do but you do have to take precautions so you do not harm your furbabie(s) at home. |
WOW, that is good advice. I've been thinking of volunteering and I would NEVER have thought of all of this. Thank you!
