Generally volunteers spend the majority of their time socializing with our animals, easing the transition from the shelter to the home. This is a great time for our animals to re-develop their trust in humans and for you to have some fun in the meantime! Other opportunities include pet therapy, foster care, mobile adoption and numerous other events throughout the year.
