Our Volunteers are the Life Force of our Organization!
From helping to distribute pet food, to sitting with shy dogs, to assisting in surgery & wellness – and everything in between, our volunteers help us keep the wheels running and achieve our mission.
Due to the big move to our new facility, not all volunteer applications will be open as we work on transitioning.
Thank you for your patience.
