Could I get paid for this?

I love dogs. And I was wondering, do you think I’d get paid for going to my animal shelter & taking the dogs out of their cage & play with them for awhile? Like in the big play pen area, I guess you could call it, lol. Even if I didnt get paid, that’d be totally fine with me.

Answer #1

in the UK, the dog trust lets people take dogs out for walks and stuff. I don’t think you will get paid for it, especially since most shelters are run by charitys…it supposed to be a ‘because you love it thing’

maybe if you went into private ‘dog sitting’ but you would need to organise this as a business and be fully commited to it, in addition I think the competition is fierce and the work is considered a luxury thing.

contact your local shlters, theres only one way to find out (though I wouldn’t mention the getting paid bit first, or at all actually until you have started!) can you imagine the applications list if this was the job;

person wanted for charity dog shleter. job invloves, playing with dogs and puppys, waling them, generally having fun, meals included. pay competative!

I don’t think they have any trouble lol!

Answer #2

No you wouldnt get paid, the people who do that stuff are volunteers… but you could dog sit for other people and get paid
