Volunteer with us

Our volunteers walk dogs, comfort cats, help at events and keep everything running. Give an hour or a day: every bit helps.

Ways to help

Take dogs on walks, play in the yard and teach basic manners.

Help shy cats get comfortable with people, and keep the cat rooms clean and cozy.

Help at adoption events, or drive animals to vet visits and foster homes.

Volunteers must be 16 or older. Volunteers who are 16 or 17 need a parent or guardian to sign a waiver. No experience is needed: we train you.

Groups, schools and companies are welcome too. Contact us to plan a group day.

How many hours do I need to give?

We ask for two shifts a month, but you can give as much time as you like.

Do I need experience with animals?

No. Every new volunteer gets training, and we pair you with an experienced volunteer at first.

Can I get school service hours?

Yes. We are happy to sign service-hour forms for students 16 and older.

Can my company volunteer as a group?

Yes! Group days are a fun way to build a team. Contact us to plan one.

The animals are waiting for you.
