A labor of love
Earn school or job-related service hours, spend time outdoors, or simply give back to animals in need. If you are ready to roll up your sleeves, we would love to have you.
Why volunteer here
- Fulfill community service hours
- Work outdoors
- Learn animal care and sanctuary upkeep
- Meet people who love animals as much as you do
You will help care for the animals, keep their enclosures clean and look after the grounds, with hands-on experience that makes a real difference.

Long-term volunteer team
The heart of the sanctuary. This team helps run daily care all year, leads projects, mentors new volunteers and helps at events. It is invitation only for now: complete orientation and hands-on training, and show responsibility, teamwork and compassion.
