Be part of something meaningful — in Sumner County

When you give your time, your heart, and your voice, you help save lives. There are so many ways to support the animals in our care — and whether you can lend a hand for an hour, a weekend, or all year long, we welcome you with open paws.

Volunteer

From walking dogs and cuddling cats to helping with laundry, community events, and cleaning stalls — volunteers are essential to our day-to-day operations. No experience is needed — just a willingness to show up and a love for animals.

Foster Program

Foster homes provide space in our shelter, helping animals decompress, heal, and thrive. Whether it’s a litter of kittens, a shy dog, or a recovering goat, fostering makes a life-changing difference.

Community Service Opportunities

Need to fulfill community service hours for school, or want to include your team in a meaningful project done together? We offer approved opportunities for responsible individuals looking to make a positive impact while meeting their requirements.

It Takes a Village

No one can do this work alone — but together, we can transform lives. Whether you’re scooping food, sharing a post, or fostering a frightened animal back to health, you’re making a lasting difference.
