Gifts of your time and talent are critical to our success. Your time is just as valuable as
money and supplies, particularly
if you have a certain skill that we can use! Just like any other facility,
we have repair issues, maintenance issues and things just happen to break down and
fall apart. If you can donate your time to help with these sorts of things,
or with adoption events, special events, dog walking or anything else,
please submit an application!

Please note that we are unable to have court ordered community service performed at our facility.
