The shelter is open to the public on Saturdays from 10am-3pm. Our volunteer staff is comprised of people just like you with busy lives, families and jobs, so we're always looking to add to our crew! Even if you want to come in and play with the ferrets, that would be a huge help to us!

Below is a list of simple things that you can do that really make a difference. Submitting an application & then signing up for a shift will help us quickly connect you with your interests :) Please feel free to send us an email if you have suggestions or ideas of your own. Since we are partnered with a veterinary clinic, volunteers must be 16 years old, or older. Thank you for your understanding.
