Volunteer

  • Walking/Training Dogs – Under the expert guidance of Anne E. Smith, this program has transformed unadoptable pets into adoptable ones!
  • Socializing Cats – Take a break from the hectic pace of today’s world. Sit a while, stroking a beautiful cat. We guarantee you’ll both be calmer and happier for the time spent together.
  • Education Program – Visit area schools to help young people develop love, respect and responsibility for animals.
  • Shelter Assistants – Help staff with such varied chores as doing laundry, cleaning kennels and cages, grooming, stocking food, cutting the grass, transporting animals, and helping with special events or promotions.
  • Sponsor a Fundraiser – From walkathons to motorcycle rides, fundraisers conducted by others help immensely.
