We are in dire need of volunteer help at the shelter. Our biggest need at the moment; "Dog walkers". More than 90 dogs a day need to be walked. Volunteers give the dog a chance to get out of their cages, relieve themselves and receive attention, which helps the dogs' moral and prevents behavior problems while waiting for a home.
We also need people to brush dogs, help with laundry, clean kennels, rotate dogs in playgroups, etc, etc. |

Here are just a few of the benefits of volunteering:
-
Be part of the solution. You'll join a network of hundreds of thousands of people working to make the world safe and more humane for all living creatures. You'll make the jobs of everyone working for animals a little easier by lending a hand and spreading the message of responsible pet ownership and animal protection.
-
Get warm fuzzies. You'll never find a more grateful and accepting comrade than an animal you've comforted.
-
Keep good company. You'll make lots of new friends—and not just the four-legged kind. Working side by side with people who share similar interests can forge lifelong friendships.
-
Meet the new you. You'll discover skills you never knew you had, and you may be surprised at what you're capable of achieving.
-
Gain a new career. You'll learn things that may lead you to the career—or career change—of your dreams. Employers and college admissions officers look favorably on time spent in volunteer service.
-
Enjoy a wagging tail, a purr, and a smile. Didn't someone once say that the best things in life are free?
