Volunteer

Volunteers are always needed and we have many volunteer opportunities.

There are a number of areas we need help:

Working with cats or dogs.

Helping at the front desk.

Working with the Education committee doing presentations at schools and sharing our message with the public at events.

Help by giving rides to animals, folding laundry, data entry, fund raising, making videos of our animals, event planning, etc.

Fostering a dog and taking the dog to adoption events.

Occasionally we have one time or short term volunteer opportunities which do not require a long term commitment or training.  Please click here for information!

Currently our greatest need is for volunteers to work with the Humane Education committee and the work they do.  We are also seeking people to help plan the Walk for the Animals and Tails at Twilight Gala.  And as always, we need people to help at the front desk.  Priority will be given to volunteers wanting to help in these particular areas.  Click here to read about opportunities to help with Humane Education!
