How You Can Help
There’s a place in our community where the hungry are fed, the homeless are sheltered, and the abandoned are given care. It’s your local animal shelter, where we provide comfort and care for our area’s unwanted animals.
It takes a special person willing to donate their time toward a good cause. By taking the initiative to become a volunteer, you show your commitment to the well being of animals. Despite smelly litter boxes and stressed out puppies, volunteering can be very rewarding. The time spent socializing shelter pets and keeping them clean and happy will eventually reward them with a new home and if that isn’t reward enough, then the letter that comes back days, weeks, months even years later by happy pet owners describing how well the dog or cat they adopted has adjusted to their new family and in currently living the life of the pampered pooch or kitty should put a smile to you face and warmth in your heart. It has for all of us who have already volunteered.
What Can You Do As A Volunteer?
- Cleaning cages & dog runs
- Feeding the shelter animals
- Walking dogs
- Playing with puppies & kittens
- Leash training dogs
- Bathing & brushing
- Help to keep our shelter clean
- Coordinate with the shelter manager to help where needed
- Last but not least, become a Board member where your compassion and concern will enable the animal shelter to continue their commitment to care for the neglected and unwanted animals.
