Volunteer Groups

We welcome volunteer groups from various organizations with a maximum of 20 volunteers per group! All skill levels are welcome, including those who have never handled animals. We strongly encourage people of color and individuals of the LGBTQ+ community to reach out to us about group volunteer opportunities! 

Details about Volunteer Groups:

• Most projects are on-site and could require some physical labor.
• Past projects have included painting, organizing and cleaning spaces, sorting donations, facility beautification and groundskeeping, or making enrichment for the shelter animals.
• Groups will always have an opportunity to see some of the pets at our shelter.
• Volunteers must be 18 years or older to handle animals.
