Interested in lending a helping hand? 

We rely on dedicated individuals who are passionate about helping animals in need. As a volunteer, you’ll have the opportunity to interact with pets, assist with their care, and contribute to their socialization.

Whether you’re walking dogs, socializing cats, or helping with events, your time and effort will make a meaningful impact. No prior experience is necessary—just a love for animals and a willingness to help. Together, hand in paw, we can provide these deserving pets with the love and attention they need to thrive.See our application and requirements below!
