One Time Volunteer Opportunities

Looking for unique volunteer opportunities? What about a team building activity for you and your staff?

Kennel stress can take a toll on dogs when they’re confined in close quarters with fellow canines. This overwhelming environment, filled with fear, stress, anxiety, and noise, can lead to various stress behaviors, such as pacing, panting, barking, and reactivity. To tackle kennel stress, enrichment is the key, which is why we are offering these special opportunities for YOU to get involved and help. See the various opportunities below.

*Participants must be 16 years or older.
