Our shelter runs on volunteers! With an average of 100 animals in shelter, we always need the extra hands. Not only is volunteering a fun way to help many homeless pets in need, volunteering is a fundamental role that takes on many shapes and forms. We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities and ways to get involved. Check them out below!
Doggy Day Trip Volunteers
Our Doggy day trip volunteers take shelter dogs on trips around Cache Valley. These day trips offer our shelter dogs a chance at adventure and extra exercise. There is no time commitment to be part of our doggy day trip program and this opporutinity is great for individuals who cannot commit to a weekly volunteer shift.
