Setting strategic direction is goal setting within the parameters and conditions established by the SWOT analysis. The objective is to set strategic goals to maximize internal strengths and external opportunities while minimizing weaknesses and vulnerabilities to potential threats.

During my time volunteering, I helped walk the dogs, play with them outside, socialize them, and occasionally clean up their room. One of my favorite socialization activities is called Running Buddies; certain dogs are able to leave the Paws building area with approved volunteers to expand their social experience as well as hopefully meet someone interested in adopting them. Volunteers also have the opportunity to learn how to train the dogs, help with Saturday Adoption events, assist in the administration offices, and many other tasks.
