Assist with a variety of small projects ranging from one-time tasks to recurring ones.
New and different opportunities become available year round.
Some projects are outside of our shelter buildings; others are indoors.
You may opt to work alone or on a small team (with 2 or 3 other volunteers).
Our Shelter Manager or our Facility Lead will explain the project details and answer all your questions.
No special training is needed...just a willingness to help make our shelter as nice as it can possibly be for our resident dogs, our volunteers and the visiting public!
Sample projects:
- Help with final assembly of our new gazebo
- Donate your clean, dry, aluminum cans and/or redeemable bottles
- Mow small grassy strip (near sidewalk) in the summer time
- Bake sweet treats to sell at our fundraisers
- Shovel the sidewalk in winter time
- De-weed parking lot areas not covered by turf
- Remove spritzers and shade tarps at the end of summer
- Take non-NutriSource food donations to Animeals
- Donate a tote of new or gently used clothes & household items to Stuff Etc (for our acct)
- Re-stock unsold merch after fundraisers (re-fold T-shirts, take inventory, etc.)
- Create raffle baskets for our annual Holidog Bazaar
- Post (or re-post electronically) our fundraising flyers

Dogs Forever - a better life for our best friends
Description
Dogs Forever was founded as a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization on March 1, 2011.
We are dedicated to rescuing homeless, abused, and neglected dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages with a special emphasis on those deemed "hard-to-place". As an Adoption Guarantee shelter, all dogs will stay in our care until we have found their forever homes.
