Yeah, it kind of was because of her breed. And that's why I'm ashamed. I know better. I know all the crap in the media and stuff is bull****.. I don't know why I let it get to me. When I go back next week, if she's still there, I'm going to walk her. I can't do that to myself or her again.

She IS a friendly dog, she was an owner turn-in, though because they were moving and didn't want to take her with them.

Your shelters don't allow volunteers under 18? That's not cool at all. ALL of the shelters and rescues here have an over 16 rule, which I think is great. If you're under 16, they have these programs once a month where you come in and interact with some of dogs and learn about basic care, etc.

For dog walking, each dog has a colour.

Green - easy to walk
Pink - settles down once away from the shelter
Yellow - no training at all, beginner volunteers not advised to walk
Blue - this kind of dog may have fear issues, etc and shouldn't be walked by volunteers in case of an accident
