What can I do?

Volunteers are always needed to help with daily shelter life and our many Save-A-Pet projects. No specific experience or vocation is required to help Save-A-Pet. The following is a partial list of tasks for which we need help:

Dog Walkers

Walk shelter dogs. Help them enjoy the outdoors, reduce their stress in the shelter, and become better future pets. Come on your own schedule. Optional: work with longer-term special needs residents.

Cat Room Care

Care for cats. Help them reduce their stress in the shelter and become better future pets. Come on your own schedule. Optional: work with longer-term special needs residents.

Adoption Counselors

Assist busy staff adoption counselors by working with prospective adopters within our policies and guidelines to assure the best possible match between the family and our dogs and cats. Pre-requisite: our dog walker or cat room care training. A training class is offered with some scheduling commitment required.

Greeters

Provide greetings and help prospective adopters have a pleasant and rewarding visit to our shelter.

Attend and/or Organize Events

Participate in many kinds of community awareness and adoption events such as: Earth Day, pet shows, retail store shows, Senior Days, nursing home visits, schools, etc.
