Each year our shelter has hundreds of devoted community members that support our shelter through volunteering. Our volunteers play a vital role in our organization’s success! Volunteers perform various tasks from socializing/caring for shelter animals, cleaning around the shelter, taking photos and assisting with offsite adoption events.
We love volunteers of all ages! An adult must accompany any volunteer under the age of 16 years old. We do ask the supervising parent or guardian also complete the steps to become a volunteer.
How do I become a volunteer?
