• Thu night intro visits - preceding our Sunday outreach days. SHARE has invited us to attend Thursday night community time in the living quarters of the current SHARE residents. This will be our time to bring two or three dogs who may be in foster or from UPPto the SHARE residents and to let them know how much we look forward to our Sunday time with them. This time serve both as outreach, as well as promotion of the adoption aspect of C4H.

• Outreach: Our outreach volunteers are a combination of hosts for our guests from The Shepherd Center, as well as ambassadors for the homeless animals at UPP. The outreach days will last from 3-6pm approx. 1. Volunteer Coordinator (Cathy LaMon) will coordinate between the UPP and our volunteers. Our volunteers will be from Buckhead, Brookhaven, and Rotaract. For outreach day, we will need one Rotarian per guest as well as two or three people to retrieve dogs and return dogs to the dog runs. Volunteers will need to arrive 45 minutes early to review layout and and the guidelines of the shelter and to help set up for our guests. During outreach days Rotarians will need to be able to assist our guests with everything from time with dogs to enjoying a snack with our guests. Cathy will be sure that each volunteer is given information from the training coordinator who will be supplied by SHARE. This will help all volunteers become aware of the best way we can make our guests have a superior time. a) Pen handler_ We will need two or three pen handlers during each outreach day. A pen handler will need to have a level of expertise in identifying dogs which may be good candidates for socializing with our guests. UPP staffers will be there to help with this phase. b) set up and clean up- Each outreach day will require about three hours of time. Rotarians will arrive at UPP, help set up tables and chairs for our guests. As our guests arrive, we will find them a comfortable space and monitor the interaction between the guests and the pets. Some guests may not want to interact all the time and may simply want to socialize, and/or enjoy a snack. The job for Rotarians is to be excellent hosts. After the guests leave, the volunteers will help with clean up so the facility is put back in the ame condition it was in prior to guest arrival. Note: Any volunteer can help w this!
