VOLUNTEER

Becoming a volunteer with our Animal Shelter is easy!  Just stop by and pick up a Volunteer Application anytime during business hours.  Once approved, our Volunteer Coordinator will be in contact with you to give a tour and get started with our program.  Volunteers play an important role here and help us in many ways including:

  • Socializing: Help animals be comfortable around new people
  • Enrichment: Stimulate senses by playing with toys, giving treats, and spending time 
  • Exercising:  Encourage play time such as dogs fetching balls or cats chasing a toy
  • Cleaning: Sanitize items used daily (cages, bowls, toys), sort newspapers, sweep, mop
  • Photography: Capture pets on camera to promote their adoption
  • Grooming: Bathe pet if needed or brush coat

Come volunteer with us!  Our animals can't wait to meet you!

All volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and have an approved Volunteer Application before starting.
