Our volunteers specialize in different forms of volunteerism by participating on a team. Check out the description of our volunteer teams to determine which is right for you.
In our new case management style of operation this is our “Street Team” of volunteers. They are out in the community providing many of the services we offer – directly to the doorstep of the public, while listening to what is truly needed. Then bringing those needs to the attention of our team so we can directly help or provide them with a list of organizations that can assist with what they need.

It is no secret that dogs and cats have an amazing sense of smell and they want to use it! These interactive mats allow our animals to sniff out hidden treats. Fun challenges like snuffle mats help keep our animals happy and engaged while in our care and, therefore, at their most adoptable. It’s so much more rewarding to hunt for your snack first!

This project may take a few more supplies and a little more skill to make, but the payoff is huge. Cats love these simple toys made of wire and twists of paper! The movement of the pieces of paper at the end of a wire attracts a cat’s attention and awakens their natural instinct to hunt. Once caught and released, the paper springs back and bounces around erratically on the wire mimicking prey and making for hours of self-sustaining entertainment. More info.
Don’t throw away the tubes once the toilet paper and paper towels are gone. They make great small animal toys! Stuff them with vegetables for your bunnies and guinea pigs or give them to your gerbils and hamsters for chew toys.
Cats and dogs can pay with cardboard tubes, too. Hide a few pieces of kibble in a tube, close the ends and watch your pets break through the tube to find the treat.
If you have a place to store these tubes, collect them for the adoption center animals. We will accept them at one of our adoption centers.
