A host is a non-profit organization, which founded in 2006 with the long-term goal of developing an animal rescue canter and decreasing the stray dog and cat population through spay. They aim to build a community in which companion animals can live free from suffering or cruelty. Their activities include rescue, care and re-homing of stray, abandoned, abused and neglected animals. They currently house and care approximately 300 cats and dogs which rescued from not only in Tokushima where their shelter is located but also other parts of Japan. So people who can help with dog walking and socializing with animals at their shelter are really needed.

1. Going for a walk with dogs
