With Maui animal shelters overflowing, volunteers step in to walk the pups

More than seven months after wildfires burned through more than 2,000 acres in Lahaina, Maui, the island continues to rebuild. But the process is slow, with about 5,000 Maui residents still displaced. And they aren't the only ones: 3,000 animals also lost their homes at a time when Maui's Humane Society was already overwhelmed.

Since the fires, officials at the shelter estimate it's taken in more than 800 animals, which staff and volunteers are struggling to feed and care for. Shelter workers say monetary donations help, but there's also another way to pitch in: walking the shelter's dogs.

Host Robin Young recently volunteered and was matched with a black lab mix named Trevor. She reports on the experience.
