Volunteer Orientation Guidelines

We look forward to seeing you at an Orientation! Be sure to reserve your day and time first. We will be mostly outside so wear sunscreen, long pants, closed toed shoes, and season appropriate outer wear.

We will give you a tour of our 10 acre facility including the catteries, dog cottages, Lee's Retirement Village, as well as a little bit of history of our beginnings.

 

After orientation stay to help out around the property. You can choose to walk a dog or two, socialize the kitties or help out in the office. 

If you are under 18 years of age, please have a parent or guardian sign your application prior to volunteering. If you are under 16 years of age, a parent or guardian will need to be with you at all times while volunteering.
