Woman Shares Reminder of What a Difference Volunteering to Walk Shelter Dogs Can Make
Such a small gesture means everything to these pups.
We all know the importance of getting our daily steps in. Walking is not only a great way to reduce stress and improve creativity, but it can also add years to our lives. Stepping outside, feeling the sun on our skin and taking in the sights and sounds of nature can clear our minds and help us sleep better at night. But you know what's even better than walking alone? Volunteering at your local animal shelter and taking along a furry friend in need.
TikTok user @Juliesaraceno2 posted a clip which can inspire us all to volunteer.

We just love the entire message of this video! She almost quit walking shelter dogs until she realized just how happy it made them. It's just a small but wonderful way to help animals in need.
@Staceyhastings comments, "Thank you for caring enough to spend time with these precious babies!!" @Spamella says, "You’re a part of their favorite part of the day." @Lauren replies, "I walk shelter dogs every Sunday for the last 5 yrs, I've felt like that before too." @Berri adds, "I know they appreciate you so much."
If you're looking for a rewarding way to volunteer and get your daily walk in, lace up your sneakers, grab your water bottle, download your favorite playlist or podcast and contact your local shelter. We are positive the dogs would love to see you!
