VOLUNTEER WITH US
BE THE DIFFERENCE
Volunteers are people like you who donate their time to help us out. It is a remarkable way to make a tangible difference in the lives of animals in need. We need volunteers to assist with events, pet transport, and the general needs of the organization to ensure we are running smoothly and efficiently. As a nonprofit, we rely on fundraisers run by volunteers to keep us up and running, and adoption events to make space to save more deserving lives. We can never have too many volunteers, we can always use the help!
CHOOSE HOW TO VOLUNTEER
Not only is volunteering fun, but it also positively impacts homeless animals in need. Our volunteer program fosters an inclusive and kind community of motivated individuals ready to help us save lives. It is also a great way to gain experience in the animal field and receive volunteer hours in a fun, hands-on way!
We have a wide range of volunteer opportunities that allow individuals to be involved based on their skills and interests. Our general volunteer opportunities are:
Our foster families provide individual care, love, and shelter to our animals waiting to be adopted.
FUNDRAISING EVENTS
These take place at a variety of places such as stores, restaurants, farmer's markets, etc. We fundraise in numerous ways such as photo shoots, trivia nights, bake sales, and more.
PET TRANSPORT
Help us transport our dogs and cats from Point A to Point B by driving them to and from foster homes, events, vet appointments, etc.
MEET AND GREET EVENTS
We bring our adoptable dogs and cats to different stores and venues to interact with the public and potentially find an adopter.
INFORMATIONAL EVENTS
We are always recruiting new fosters and volunteers and networking. These events help the public learn about us and how they can get involved.
