Junior Volunteers perform volunteer tasks and sometimes socialize our small adoptable animals.

What: Youth ages 12-17 will help with various service tasks throughout the shelter as needed. This may include helping to exercise and socialize our adoptable animals by providing them with valuable enrichment during their shelter stay. This program provides a great opportunity for youth to have hands-on interactions with animals and give back to pets and people in need while earning community service hours.

Cost: $10.00 per child
