We at Barxmore Acres are looking for a volunteer to spend some time with our dogs. We need someone willing to sit outside with them, keep an eye on them, individually play with them, or sit in the house with them. We have multiple dogs that need to be exercised individually and some that cannot be together in the same area. This is a volunteer position for a couple hours three times a week during the morning/early afternoon.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide a safe, loving, and lifelong sanctuary for the dogs in our care; to educate the public about responsible pet care; and to promote the importance of rescue dogs.
Description
We officially started in December of 2024 but have rescued dogs for over 30 years. Ware dedicated to the care of the dogs in our sanctuary and are currently at our max. Our goals are to educate the community about the importance of adopting from shelters rather than buying from breeders. We do adopt or sell the dogs in our care. We occasionally take on an emergency rescue when the need is urgent and when we have room. We rely on donations and grants to care for the needs of our sanctuary dogs. At the moment, most of their needs are met by us personally. It is our goal to have more donations coming in to help offset the cost of vet care and general needs. We are also needing a couple volunteers to help us work spend time with the dogs.
