Good luck with the volunteer job @cbbrown. It may very likely raise your spirits and make your home life more tolerable. It’s a step in the right direction.
I didn’t volunteer to walk dogs because of previous injuries to my back and ankle. But i checked to socialize and clean pens and kennels. My partner’s little sister said she is trying to get a lot of people to volunteer there. She is only 11 so she needs an adult guardian there like my mother in law . She wants us to volunteer Thursday, Friday and Saturday
