Volunteer at Events
Each event is different but we often need someone to represent Safe Haven and answer basic questions. Sometimes we need help with handling dogs at adoption fairs.
Host an Event or Fundraiser
Consider hosting a bake sale, organize a raffle . . . the options are endless. Contact us so we can help you get the resources you need to create an amazing event.
Transportation
We need drivers to transfer our cats and dogs to veterinary clinics, training sessions, and from other facilites.
Gardening
We own a good amount of land for our dogs to run and play. It can be a lot of work to keep it all looking its very best. Weeding, watering our flowers, or raking leaves are some ways you could help us.
Dog Socializing/Exercise
Taking our dogs out in the big yard for exercise, practicing walking on leash, playing with toys, and brushing. Even taking our dog residents out on a car ride is a great way to have one-on-one time with people.
Cat Socializing/Enrichment
Help our cat residents by offering them some pets and interactive playtime. They also enjoy being brushed or introduced to something new to brighten up their day.
Pet Food Pantry
We donate cat and dog food to local food banks in an effort to help keep pets in their homes and reduce the number of animals needing to come to the shelter. Volunteers prepare bags of food for distribution.
Building Maintenance
Our building has been around for a while and wasn't originally designed to be a shelter. Therefore, we frequently need assistance keeping this place in tip-top shape! If you are good with a drill, a saw, plumbing, or electrical - we need you!
Photography
Since we are located in a rural community, having great pictures of our cats and dogs is a must for advertising our homeless pets to potential adopters. Help us make their Petfinder Profiles shine.
