Are you looking for a way to make a difference for animals? We care for between 300 and 400 cats and dogs per year and we couldn’t do it without our compassionate and dedicated volunteers.
It is impossible to help every stray, but every effort we make to help homeless animals counts. Our animal friends can’t help themselves, so we need to step in.
It isn’t just about animals - it’s about people helping animals.
Give the Gift of Your Time
A reservation is required to attend volunteer orientation. No spots will be available for walk-in attendees. Parking is limited and registrants need to be checked in by the time orientation begins, so we strongly recommend that you arrive at least 15 minutes early.
If you arrive after the orientation start time, you will be turned away regardless of your reservation.

Volunteers Matter
Imagine living in a small room with access to a small outdoor run. Dogs and cats are highly social. They thrive with interaction. The highlight of their day is when a volunteer comes to visit.
Inclusivity Statement For Those With Disabilities
Our strength comes from our diversity and we celebrate the visible and invisible qualities that make each person unique, including race, gender, age, sexuality, ability, religion, national origin, gender identity, and other identities.
Our organization would like to ensure that all people with disabilities are in a safe environment, but due to our geographical location, many people with certain disabilities have a difficult time navigating our physical property.
We look forward to have anyone able to independently or along with a qualified family member, friend or assistant come to visit our shelter as a volunteer. Our shelter does not have paid individuals on the premises who are trained or able to provide individual or specialized care for those who cannot navigate our property on their own. If you are disabled and need asssistance moving from one area to another, please bring along a qualified support person to ensure that your visit is a safe and positive one.
We may request that you sign a waiver releasing our shelter from any responsibility due to injuries that can occur on property during your visit.
