Shelter Support Services
This is a non-animal handling volunteer opportunity. We need help with laundry (washing, drying, and folding), cleaning (sterilizing dishes, litter boxes, carriers and other donated items) and housekeeping (move furniture/cages to vacuum, clean, and mob). Outside work includes mowing lawn, trimming and snow removal.
Animal Care at our Intake Facility on 29th Street
Volunteer duties for both mornings and evenings include providing food and water to our pets, cleaning and sanitizing cages/kennels, following proper safety protocols for sick and injured pets, laundry, housekeeping and other duties as assigned. A minimum of 2 hours/day with an obligation of at least 2 hours/week is required for this task. Anyone interested in working with the animals must attend our volunteer orientation. Must be 18 years or older.
Short Term Opportunities
Drivers are always needed to transport pets to and from their spay/neuter surgeries. We host many fundraisers throughout the year. Help is needed to distribute posters and other tasks to make these events successful!
