how do I become a volunteer?
Volunteer applications are on pause until January 2nd, 2025: Just like our four-legged friends sometimes need a moment to settle into a comfy bed, we’re taking this time to fetch a better, more enriching experience for both our volunteers and shelter animals by temporarily pausing new volunteer onboarding. This break allows us to prepare for an exciting and impactful year ahead. Stay tuned for the exciting updates, as we can’t wait to resume our volunteer adventures with you in 2025. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
