Group Volunteers
🤝 Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!
Does your business, civic group, or social club want to give back? We love hosting groups for service projects! Group tasks typically include large-scale cleaning, landscaping, organizing, or assisting with special event prep. Please contact us at [email protected] to develop a meaningful volunteer day for your group.
Are you looking for opportunities for groups with children, such as a school club, scout troop, or youth organization? Please visit our Education and Youth Programs Page for age-appropriate opportunities and educational tours.

Transport Volunteers
🚚 The Road to a New Beginning
Working with rescue groups throughout the country saves thousands of our shelter's pets every year. We generally coordinate a large transport every two weeks, and they primarily fall on weekends. Most long-distance transports are broken into "legs." This means volunteers take shifts driving a specific portion of the route, so you are never responsible for the entire journey.
If you would like to get involved in this amazing effort, please contact Deana Wehr, Rescue & Transport Manager, at [email protected].
