If you do not see an upcoming date, please be patient and check back in a few weeks. All volunteers commit to going through a criminal background check.
Some volunteers reach out to churches, schools, businesses, and other organizations encouraging them to do a drive or make a financial donation.
Adults that have time and passion for a monthly commitment are welcome to take the steps to join our volunteer team. Do these 3 things now: Follow us on Facebook , read everything on our website including the work we do in the community and join us to volunteer .”

“Our intake is closed but we still have many dogs in our care that we are caring for and we are in dire need of supplies as donations are non existent now. We get phone call after phone call and email after email asking us to take in the forgotten, the abandoned, the sick and we do all we can to bring them to safety. Please don’t forget about the ones in our care.
We are in desperate need of the following supplies: dog food for puppies and adults, pee pads, paper towels, dewormer for small dogs, and anything else you think the dogs would like” ❤️
