landscaping & Handicraft volunteer opportunities

Join us in creating an environment that reflects care, compassion, and creativity. Volunteer to help us make a lasting impact, one landscaping project and handicraft creation at a time. Your efforts will not only beautify our shelter but also warm the hearts of our animals awaiting their forever homes.

landscaping opportunities

Help maintain the grounds of the shelter, both general landscaping like mowing and weed whacking and gardening opportunities such as pulling weeds, mulching, and planting. Some gardening tools and materials will be provided. However, we encourage you to bring some with you, as well as gloves.

handicraft opportunities

Whether it's helping build play areas, constructing cabinets, patching a wall, or even enhancing a walking path, your handicraft will offer a chance to help fix items around the shelter that benefit our staff and animals directly.
