We welcome one-time volunteers, volunteers who want to deliver on a weekly or monthly basis, and families who want to volunteer together. Substitute delivery volunteers are also needed to replace regular volunteers.

Local businesses are also welcome to “adopt” a delivery route to share among employees, or to organize a one-day delivery “blitz” to provide a break to our regular volunteers.

You can also help by organizing a pet food drive. This is a great community service project for Scout troops, businesses, civic clubs, schools, churches and individuals.

For only $20 a month, you can become a Pet Pals Sponsor to help feed and provide veterinary care to pets in need.
