Become a foster parent.
We always need foster parents to give loving temporary homes to a dog or cat until a permanent home is found. If you feel you have space in your heart and home to be a foster to one of these needy animals, let us know.

Personal Care Technician.
This involves working with the cats who are housed at Petsmart, mobile venues or at the ranch, while they are awaiting adoption. It includes looking after the cats and making sure cages are tidy. Training is provided, and there is a set schedule.

Dog Technician.
We need your help to provide TLC, companionship, and exercise to dogs who are boarded at various locations or at the ranch and other locations while awaiting adoption. Training is provided, and there is a set schedule.

Transportation.
Help is always needed with transporting animals to and from adoption clinics and special events, as well as to and from vet appointments.

Helping at Adoption Clinics.
Come and join our adoptions team. If you enjoy working with people as well as animals you can work at our adoption clinics* and be there to share in the joy of a homeless pet finding a new family.
*Requires training session.

Special Events.
We have lots of special events throughout the year that we need to staff. The jobs vary from doing adoptions, answering the public's questions, or
walking a dog.

Office Helper.
We need your organizational skills to help with record keeping, mailings, typing, computer work, and other administrative tasks.

Bathing and grooming the animals.
To help the animals put their best paw forward for adoption clinics, a good bath and brushing go a long way. You don't need to be a dog groomer for this one. Just have a love of animals, and don't mind getting a little wet.

Construction help.
This does not mean you need to know how to build a house. We always need people for small construction projects—from putting up chain link fencing to to building temporary pens for special events.

Sewing.
If you like to sew, we always have projects we could use help with—from sewing table coverings for special events to bandannas and coats for the animals at adoption clinics.

Gardening.
We need help maintaining the grounds. If you would like to help keep the facility looking its best, please join us. Watering and general landscape projects.

OK, so what do I do next?
Come to the Ranch for a one-hour orientation, any Saturday at Noon. If you're 15 or older, you don't need a parent to stay with you while volunteering.

See the "Contact Us" page for directions and a map.

It's handy if you complete the form for volunteers (and community service) before coming:

Thank you very much for your interest in helping us, to help the animals.
