VOLUNTEER GUIDELINES
We invite you to attend a Saturday Volunteer Orientation from 12-1pm where you will receive a tour of our 10 acre facility, learn about the many volunteer opportunities and meet some of our animals, For more information on how to sign up please click HERE
Families are welcome to volunteer at the Ranch. ALL members of the family must attend an Orientation prior to volunteering (including the kiddos)
Once you have attended a Saturday morning Volunteer Orientation, we can't wait for you to get started at the Ranch. We have so many opportunities! Whether you prefer walking dogs, or socializing with the cats and kittens in the Cattery, we are so excited you will be joining us!
The Ranch is an outdoor/indoor facility. As there are animals of all sizes, ages and temperaments on the Ranch, we ask that you please check in with the Ranch Team when you arrive.
