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.
That is exactly what I was thinking!

I really have to agree with Cindy here. And given her experience working with rescue, I really trust and value her opinion on this.
