Volunteer! 

Picture
Volunteers are the life blood of any animal shelter. We are always accepting new volunteers to help with many of our day to day tasks like working with our adoptable dogs, cleaning and shelter upkeep, socializing adoptable cats, and helping with animal adoptions. Other volunteer opportunities include tabling events, public education and promotion, and assisting with basic office tasks.
