Do I need any particular skills to work with animals?

You should be in reasonably good physical shape to walk dogs; some are very strong and pull hard on their leash. There is a fair amount of strenuous activity involved in just about all of our animal care volunteer opportunities. If you take immunosuppressive drugs, you should speak with your physician before working with animals.
