Ways you can help:

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, socializing, cleaning, doing laundry 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.

Communication and Fundraising

Have experience, or an interest, in fundraising?   This is an important function for any non-profit.   Like to write (e.g. newsletters)?  We can use your help for a couple hours a week..

System Administration

We can always use volunteers with information system experience

Administration

This need is basically for clerical help, anywhere from 1 to 3 hours a week.

Salespersons and cashiers are always needed at our Thrift Store on Rt 411 in Madisonville.  Normally a 3-hour shift one day a week is asked.
