As a non-profit organization, our volunteer staff are a key part of running a smooth and
successful business. Our volunteer staff is very important to us and we wish to thank you
for the precious time that you are donating to our very special animals.

service volunteers are accepted on an "as-needed" basis and we are sorry, but we do not
accept court ordered community service.
Our volunteers help us keep things running smoothly at our adoption center, offices, and
events. If you would like more information or to help out, please contact Carlie at (760)
240-6848, email, or come on in to pick up an application.
