Volunteers help with essential shelter activities including"

Assist with the cleaning and sanitizing of dog and cat enclosures following our "deep cleaning" and "spot cleaning" protocols, paying special attention to practices that limit disease transmission.

Assist with outfitting each enclosure with comfortable and enriching dcor once cleaning is finished.

Assist with moving dogs to and from outdoor yard spaces to allow for AM or PM potty time.

Assist with moving cats to alternative spaces, as needed.

Assist with the feeding and watering of both cats and dogs, including the preparation of special diets.
