What do you need volunteers to do?
There are so many avenues to volunteer, both with animals and without. We are always looking for volunteer help with:
– Washing dishes, laundry, and keeping our shelter and animal spaces clean
– Socializing our animals
– Transporting our animals to and from appointments, other shelters, etc.
– Walking our adoptable dogs or participating in doggy day out field trips
– Photographing our animals and assisting with marketing of our adoptable pets
We can also use volunteer support in other capacities, like:
– Organizing donations
– Flyering and tabling as a Tails Together Ambassador
– Anything and everything! Do you work in IT, good at building things, a graphic design pro? However you’d like to apply your skills to help homeless animals, let’s chat!
What is the time commitment to volunteer?
Entirely up to you! The more you volunteer, the more opportunities open up, but you can volunteer with a schedule that works best for you.
