Our Most Critical Need:
Daily Animal Care Volunteers
Our top priority is finding volunteers to help with daily animal care. Key tasks include:
- Providing food, fresh water, and lots of love to the pets.
- Cleaning the kennels, litter boxes, and shared spaces.
- Exercising dogs through walks and playtime.
- Socializing the pets and ensuring their happiness.
​
This work is tough, but incredibly rewarding! The dedication of volunteers ensure that each animal is happy and healthy while they await adoption!
Who Can Volunteer?
Adults (18+) may volunteer independently or support a teenage volunteer.
Teens (12-17) can volunteer with a parent or guardian. Anyone who is 12+ is able to volunteer with the cats, but you must be 16+ in order to volunteer with the dogs.
When Do We Need You?
We offer daily volunteer shifts for both dogs and cats with mid-day and evening options available. Shift length can vary, but will typically last 2-3 hours based on the needs of the pets.
​
We need dependable volunteers with the ability to commit to 2 shifts a month! Having a consistent, reliable team helps us provide the pets with the best possible care. However, you are always welcome to volunteer more often!
Other Ways To Volunteer:
We also need volunteer support with..
- Transporting Animals: Taking pets to their vet appointments or assisting in a transfer to other facilities.
- Fundraising & Events: Supporting community events and fundraising efforts.
- Facility Support: Assisting with daily tasks like laundry, dishwashing, sweeping, and basic maintenance to help keep the shelter in tip-top shape.
