GET INVOLVED

Volunteer


We are always in need of helping hands.  If you want hands-on experience caring for pets, volunteering at the shelter is your place.  From walking dogs to 'dirty jobs', from foster homes to events, our staff can help you find a job that works best for you.

Foster

Picture

​Sometimes a pet needs to be out of the shelter environment for various reasons. Perhaps they are not thriving there; maybe they need a quiet place to recover from an illness or injury; or maybe they are just too young (puppies and kittens less than 8 weeks old).

At these times, we rely on a network of dedicated foster families to help these wonderful pets get over whatever hurdles life dealt them.  It is a temporary situation, but vital to the health and well-being of the animal.

The shelter provides everything you need, including: food, litter, litter boxes, crates, and veterinary services.  All you need to provide is a home, a loving environment, and your time.


Please complete the foster application below, or use the "contact us" button to let us know if you have any questions about our program.

Shelter
​(Help us at the heart of it all)

Picture
Limited, task-specific, volunteer opportunities available due to COVID and staffing. PWP is using a new volunteer organization software to help communicate our needs. New AND EXISTING volunteers will need to submit the volunteer application and join the Point program. Thank you for growing with us and we hope to have more opportunities available soon. 
​If you want hands-on experience caring for pets, volunteering at the shelter is your place. You get lots of time to interact with pets.

Our rescue uses a mobile app called Point to organize our volunteer needs, schedules, and data. After completing the application below, you will be invited to be part of our organization on Point. Here, you will be able to see volunteer needs that the shelter posts that are specific to your interests and completed training sessions with PWP. 

Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age.

Away-From-Shelter
(Adoption Events and other behind the scenes help)

Picture

We attend a number of adoption of events each year.  These events entail taking pets from the shelter to designated places so they get more visibility or manning a table and sharing information about PWP with the public. When helping with these off-site events, volunteers help to transport the animals and necessary supplies to/from the shelter. At the event, volunteers sit or walk around with the pets and talk to people about our shelter and about adopting from us. 

Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age.

Our Events

We have a number of PWP events that we hold each year:

Run With The Pack: This event takes place each summer. When helping with this event, you could be coordinating vendors, serving water at mile markers, registering runners, and more.

Art Auction: This is a spring event.  If volunteering for this event, you might be coordinating art donations, setting up for the event, asking local companies to sponsor event and more.

We do not require that volunteers for these events attend an orientation.  To find out more about these events and sign up to help, please visit the Run With The Pack and Art Auction event pages for details.
