Volunteer oppurtunites are endless! We are in constant need of volunteers to assist in socializing the dogs and cats in our care, walking dogs, brushing the animals. Throughout the year we hold special events, offsite adoption events and fundraisers and rely on volunteer help. We occasionally need help with office work, filing and light cleaning duties as well.
We also recently dedicated 8.25 acres to Grasslands to help increase the levels of ground nesting birds and we have also plated 2.75 acres with Wildflowers/Milkweed as a food source for the east coast Monarch Butterfly. If you are familar with basic gardening or upkeep we would love your help!
Please reach out if you are interested in helping our cause!
