We are seeking willing people to help care for our residents while they await their forever home. These are just a few of the many volunteer opportunities available with Almost Home Animal Shelter: cat cage/dog kennel cleaning, dog walking and socializing, and cat socializing and grooming.

If you are more of a “behind the scenes” person, we can always use a hand with maintenance/repairs, general cleaning/organizing and special projects.
