Do volunteers walk the dogs - put her on a list and see if she can be rotated for "shorter" walks 2-3 x's a day. Are toys allowed. See that she gets a Kong by a volunteer daily to keep her busy. I know these sound pretty pitiful, but when dogs start that at shelters I'm/been at we work with staff to provide some outlet. Some dogs do better than others (if you can even call it that) in shelter enviroments, so find the few that occasionally need extra attention and work with others to help them. & they'll make it threw.
I am basically the only volunteer who walks the dogs..there's people that come to do community service and walk the dogs like twice a week which helps. and there's other volunteers not many that do other things like does the website, does paperwork, call people to see if they found their animals, and fosters, etc. she is out with her buddy Te Koa that is a pit bull puppy and I take them out together and let them play as long as needed. yeah, hounds seriously just rot in shelters, because nobody wants a hound. and of course toys are allowed! she plays with balls and we have a few kongs that we give her as well. I am certain she'll find a home soon, though. She isn't urgent or anything, but she really does need a home. She'd make someone a good hunting buddy since she has a lot of potential. Just as long as they treat her right is all I want her to find a loving home with someone who is going to love and cherish her for the rest of her days and make her apart of the family..meaning being inside as well.
