CAAWS is run solely by unpaid volunteers and is governed by a Board of Directors. We need volunteers, who are over the age of 18, to take care of our dogs during our evening dog shifts which start between 4 and 6 pm and last for 3-4 hours. Your responsibilities would be to feed, clean up after, exercise and love our dogs. Volunteers work in pairs and are required to do the same evening shift each week. This is a great opportunity for retirees and college students as well as others interested in our mission.
PLEASE include a phone number AND e-mail address where we can reach you. If you would like to find out more about our organization please visit our website at www.caaws.org .
