How you can make a difference
We welcome anyone over sixteen to submit a volunteer application.
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.
We appreciate the expertise of any age volunteer, but also have special programs for teens.
