Curious about how you can support our mission by volunteering in the shelter, taking a shelter pet home to foster, or donating much-needed supplies? Click on the links below to learn more!

Our Volunteer Program is made up of fantastic, dedicated, and compassionate volunteers! In-house volunteers are at both our shelter campuses every day of the year, socializing with cats and small animals, walking dogs, helping with laundry and dishes, helping visitors, and more! Volunteers also help make our events a success, including our Vaccination and Microchip Clinics and community events! Click the link to learn how to join our volunteer team!


We rely on our foster volunteers to provide extra care to shelter pets - outside of the shelter! Each year, foster volunteers give hundreds of shelter pets the extra attention and time in a home that they need to recover from illness or injury, have a break from the shelter, or time to reach that 2-month mark and be ready for adoption. Foster volunteers also take shelter dogs on daytime adventures through our Power Hour Program! Want to become a foster? Click the link below to learn more.


Are you interested in hosting a supply drive, or are you curious about what type of donations the shelter can use? Maybe you'd like to know what our shelter dogs' favorite toys are, or what treats the shelter cats like the most? We've got a whole list ready!
