Join me on my journey to socialize dogs at the local shelter—building better dog-to-dog behavior outcomes to increase adoptability and create better days for better adoptions. Every Saturday, I volunteer at Friends of the Animal Shelter (FOTAS) in Talent, OR, where we practice Dogs Playing for Life (DPFL) social groups.

Each week, I help exercise and socialize shelter dogs by assessing and matching their play styles to create enriching, safe, and engaging experiences. These playgroups improve the social skills of the dogs involved and help prepare them for their forever homes. All dogs featured here are available for adoption at FOTAS.
