ACTIVITIES:

WITH THE ANIMALS

Show the animals in care some love. Activities include dog walks, kitty cuddling, adopt-a-dog-for-a-day, and puppy play & clean-up. 

  • The dogs: Volunteers are welcome to drop in Tuesday - Saturday between noon and 4 pm. Dog walking is our most needed volunteer activity. Volunteers can also play in the big yard with a dog.  For our Adopt a Dog for a Day Program, please book ahead with the volunteer coordinator. This program is on Sundays and Mondays.

  • The cats: There are drop-in hours between noon - 4 pm Tuesday - Saturday. Get their purr motors running while they soak up the pets and you enjoy some endorphin-producing relaxation. 

  • The puppy litters: There are drop-in hours between noon - 4 pm Tuesday - Saturday. Poop patrol and puppy play. From time to time, we have puppy litters in the shelter that need playtime, people socialization, and lots of clean-up.

 

IN THE KENNEL

A positive experience for our animals means a clean and well-maintained kennel. Weekly Activities include laundry, light cleaning, sorting donations, taking inventories, and washing toys and dishes. As-needed/ Seasonal Activities include small repairs, spring cleaning, snow shoveling, and special projects.
