​We are always looking for volunteers!  

Being a volunteer is extremely rewarding, educational and fun. You can have a significant positive impact on the lives of homeless animals. Walking a dog, cuddling a cat, giving a treat or blanket or a simple pat on the head will touch your heart and bring you back for more. It’s especially rewarding to see how the animals respond immediately to the love they receive while they are at the shelter.
