Volunteer Form
We’ve got a variety of hands-on and behind-the-scenes opportunities:
🐾 Dog Care: walking, socialization, basic training reinforcement, kennel cleaning, enrichment toy prep
🐾 Farm Animal Care: feeding & watering sheep, goats & chickens; mucking stalls; pasture maintenance
🐾 Facility & Grounds: fence repairs, general landscaping, workshop projects
🐾 Community & Admin Support: photography, office filing, social media help
Not at all! We welcome absolute beginners. All volunteers undergo a short on-site orientation covering safe handling, animal body-language cues, and our day-to-day routines. Experienced volunteers and staff will shadow you until you feel comfortable.
Volunteers must be 16 and older, unless working alongside a parent/guardian the entire time.
Clothing: Closed-toe shoes or boots, long pants, and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty.
Extras: A refillable water bottle, sunscreen, and insect repellent. We supply gloves, boots, and all cleaning/disinfecting gear.
For insurance and safety reasons, outside pets aren’t allowed for volunteers. Introducing a visitor’s pet can stress either our animals or yours, or even expose them to unfamiliar germs. If you’re interested in fostering or adoption, we’ll coordinate a time and place for animals to meet.
Yes! We offer individual and small group tours. Contact us to make arrangements.
Please fill out the Contact Form to schedule a time. Be sure to include the best days of the week and time of day in your message.
Help us help dogs.
Every dog deserves a home, a warm bed, and a loving copilot. With your help, we can make that dream a reality—one rescue at a time.
