Volunteer

Everyone! Volunteers under the age of 16 will need to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. All volunteers will need to sign a waiver. Waivers must be signed by a parent if the volunteer is under the age of 18. We are requiring all volunteers attend a volunteer training before they are authorized to volunteer at the shelter. Please call us to schedule an appointment for one of the following sessions.

Starting in May, we will be hosting our volunteer class 2x a month. It will be held on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month at 10:30 and 11:30. The dogs need to be back in the building by 5pm on weekdays and 1:30 on Saturday. We only have room for the first 10 people who show up for the class so be sure to arrive early!

Please dress according to weather but you must wear close-toed shoes (no flip flops, sandals, etc). Bring a water bottle and snack with you if you think you might need it.
