SPCA Needs Volunteers To Go Running With Dogs In Chester County

WEST CHESTER, PA — Want to take a good boy along for your next run? The SPCA needs volunteers to take their shelter dogs out for some exercise.

Running "does wonders" for both the mental and physical health of our furry friends, according to the Brandywine Valley SPCA.

That's the theory behind the new "Doggers" program. All participants need to do is sign up, attend a volunteer orientation, and go for a joint run with an experienced "Dogger" and a hound before being metaphorically let off the leash.

Brandywine Valley is offering the Doggers program at their West Chester campus first. For more information and to sign up, see here.

Other local animal shelters may also have a similar need. Dog lovers interested in the SPCA program should also reach out to their local shelter to inquire about similar programs.
