The Importance of Volunteering

For You

Volunteering gives you the chance to broaden your horizons, get outside, and make memories!

For Us

We can use all the help we can get! Running a sanctuary takes a lot of work and we always need more help!

For Them

​Our residents would benefit from having new people to meet and learn that new doesn’t mean scary!

Commitment to Volunteering

While trying new things is always good, we need volunteers that are willing to commit to helping.

 

Monthly, weekly, and even daily volunteers are needed.
