I was a member of the Humane Society for many years, and they desperately need people like you! I don't know what level of work you can do, but there are many things they need help with. Adoption booths in malls, where they need people to talk to prospective owners, or fill out paperwork, whatever. They need people to answer phones, emails, etc. They need folks who can work at socializing animals... not much hard activity needed, just time and patience (which as an rsd'er you have, lol).
Arrange to meet with someone from the Humane Society, please. It would do both you and the dogs a world of good

Yes, I miss working with dogs a LOT!! I just adore dogs, and when my RSD got real bad it was upsetting to lose the hobby/ job I loved so much.
I still have my pup, and I do try and brush him at times and I pet him (good desensitization!) all the time. He is my baby, and has comforted me through some pretty rough days. I love him to pieces (hey, I put a pic of him in the photo thread... if you want to see my baby)!
Thanks for the idea, that might be something worth looking into! I doubt that I will ever be able to groom or train dogs again (I am not losing hope though, because it might happen!), but I want to find some job I can do that includes dogs (preferrably at home, and I can choose my own hours) some way!
Thanks again, Rogue!
Tell me if you have any more ideas on the subject!
