Volunteer: Looking for volunteer to help clean kennels for our canine heroes in training!

Description: Assist our canine care team by keeping our kennels fresh, clean, and safe. Because our dogs are working canines in training, rather than shelter pets, we ask that volunteers do not directly interact with them to help maintain focus and consistency in their training.  

Your Impact: Clean, well-maintained kennels are essential to canine health and training success. By supporting our kennel staff, you help create a safe, sanitary, and consistent environment where dogs can rest, recover, and stay focused on their training.

When: Mornings preferred, 8am-11am. Please let us know what days you prefer to volunteer.
