While working at a shelter you will almost certainly be around larger dogs. As long as you are still able to perform the duties required of your job you should be fine. Take this as an opportunity to learn and grow and become more comfortable with larger dogs. It may be challenging at first but with you can learn to become comfortable with them. I hope this helps.
