You’ll get to spend your shift helping with tasks like cleaning, feeding, landscaping (weeding, raking), and building maintenance tasks.
Walking and socializing with our Dogtown residents may be limited, and interactions will be at the discretion of our trained caregivers depending on an individual dog's medical and behavioral needs.
Outings
You can also lend a hand by taking a dog on an outing with your personal vehicle, within a one-hour drive of the Sanctuary. Outings can include a car ride, hikes outside of Dogtown (dependent on the dog and weather conditions), or quiet time at your pet-friendly lodging.
Dogtown laundry building
We always need help with keeping the blankets and toys clean for the dogs, so your help with basic housekeeping, laundry, and walking dogs at the Dogtown laundry building is always appreciated.
Adoption hub shifts
Volunteers are also welcome at the adoption hub inside puppy preschool, where cats and dogs reside while they wait to be adopted.
During a shift at the adoption hub, you might help with cleaning the dog spaces and cat room, dishes, laundry, sweeping and mopping, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs for walks, and socializing the animals. This shift should not be selected if you are allergic to cats.
