Julie Tishkoff spends lots of her free time giving back to others in her community, and that includes more than just humans. She is an animal rights activist who is interested in the welfare of the disenfranchised pets and animals in her area, so she invests that energy into extensive volunteer work with local animal shelters. Below is a sort list of the duties she performs at these shelters and a description of each.
Walking
One of Julie Tishkoff’s primary duties at these shelters is to walk the dogs. Most of these shelters don’t have the manpower to walk every dog every day, leaving them without exercise and therefore unhealthy and less appealing for adoption. By giving every dog she can a ten minute walk when at the shelter, Julie Tishkoff has helped keep hundreds of dogs healthy and adoptable.
Basic Grooming
The conditions in these shelters can be questionable at times, which is why basic grooming is more important as ever both for the health of the dog you are helping as well as that of others around it. For basic grooming, Julie Tishkoff often bathes animals, clips their toenails and cleans their ears if necessary.
Playing
A big part of the animal shelter volunteer experience is actually the most enjoyable part of all; and that is simply playing with the animals. It has been proving that playing with cats and dogs increases their social skills as well as their overall sense of happiness, helping them have more appeal for adoption.
