C.L.A.S.S. membership is open to all who are interested and support our purposes. If you would like to give your support by volunteering, we invite you to participate in a rewarding and fulfilling experience working with and for our animals.

There are many opportunities available to the volunteer, both at the shelter or directly related to animal care, and in other areas.

Directly Related to Animal Care:

• FOSTER HOMES: A foster home is a temporary home (usually 2 to 6 weeks) for an animal before adoption. These animals are too young, need socialization, or are recovering from illness or injury, and need special attention that prevents them from being adoptable at that time. Foster homes are always needed.
   
• KENNEL WORK: General care and maintenance of shelter animals, including feeding, cleaning, disinfecting runs and cages, inspecting animals for possible disease or injury.
   
• SOCIALIZATION: Petting cats or dogs, walking dogs, playing with the animals and grooming.
   
• GENERAL: Volunteers are always needed to do everyday jobs around the shelter.  This can include: greeting visitors, answering phones, preparing newspapers to be used in cages, assisting potential adopters in viewing and more. 

Whatever time volunteers can give the shelter, for whatever task, whether at the shelter or in their home, their service is invaluable.
