Mobile Fire-Rescue academy recruits and volunteers walked adoptable dogs at the City Animal Shelter on Community Day, FOX10 reported. The walks got shelter dogs out of their kennels for a stretch.
The day was a visit and a walk, not an adoption event with a tally of new homes. The recruits are still in the academy, and the dogs are still waiting for adopters unless a family chose one that day. The station did not publish an adoption count.
For the classroom
Recruits training to be Mobile, Alabama, firefighters spent Community Day walking dogs at the City Animal Shelter. Volunteers walked dogs too. The dogs are waiting to be adopted, and a walk gets them out of a kennel for a while. The outing was one community day, not a count of how many dogs went to new homes that afternoon. Fire recruits are people still in the academy, learning the job before they join a fire crew full time.
