Volunteers are essential to the operation of our shelter. The number of animals housed at our facility far exceed the capacity of our full time staff. Your volunteer service is needed and appreciated. We expect that volunteers can contribute a minimum of 50 hours per year.

Volunteers are required to purchase a volunteer t-shirt ($7.00) and name badge ($7.00). We can find a job that satisfies your skills and your interests. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old to work with the animals.

Dog Walker Training to begin June 24
This is your opportunity to have fun with the dogs, get a lot of exercise, and benefit the 70+ dogs who need to be walked and socialized each day. Volunteers must attend 5 training sessions Thursday evenings 6-8pm on June 24, and July 1, 8, 15, 22. After graduation on June 24 you can walk on any day of the week. We prefer volunters who can regularly walk the same day(s) each week, but that is not required. People who don't want to handle the large dogs are welcomed to work with the small dogs. This is an important job, with a lot of responsibility, and volunteers are critically needed to make sure we walk every dog, every day.
