How you can make a difference
Our volunteer program is a great way to spend time, help your
community and make some animals (and yourself) very happy.
Volunteers play a critical role in keeping our animals healthy and
happy, thereby improving the quality of their lives while here at
the shelter. Volunteers help with everything from animal handling
to stuffing envelopes. We offer many opportunities. Please click
