At the Animal Shelter

The animal shelter in Madisonville has a minimum staff.  The animals need more care and attention than the staff can provide.  Some of the  tasks at the shelter are dog walking, cat enrichment, socializing, cleaning, doing laundry, greeters and front desk work.  Volunteering just a few hours a week is a huge help.

Transporting Animals

In an effort to find homes for as many animals as possible, dogs and cats are  transported to rescue destinations, most often out of state, where they are quickly adopted.  Drivers, who can also load and unload the animals, are needed for these transports.

Foster an Animal

Foster homes provide temporary homes for animals in need. 

Adoption Events

Three or four times a year there is an adoption event  (e.g. at a Petsmart store).  Volunteers are needed to tend to the animals throughout the day.  Usually this is  for 3 hours on a Saturday.
