Want to be a volunteer? Check out the following: Pooper Scoopers: They have around 100 dogs at any given time, and they do produce a lot of poop! General handyperson: The kennel is so maintenance intensive they are always in need of cleaners & repairs all over the place. They work very hard to keep the environment clean and safe & if you can use a hammer, screwdriver or have any electrical skills, they could really use a helping hand. Can you paint, plaster, do wood work on fences & gates? Animal Trainer: Someone who can spend time at the sanctuary teaching the dogs basic commands and obedience training. You don't have to be a professional trainer- one of their volunteers learned most of what she knows from youtube vids! Veterinarian: they desperately need a practical minded Veterinarian who is willing to make house calls once or twice a month here to the sanctuary. It's a major hardship to bundle up & haul 20 separate dogs over to another location simply for shots & general care. If they were blessed with a Veterinarian angel who could make house calls to the sanctuary, of course they are more than willing to pay & would be ever grateful. (They'd also like to feature our Sanctuary Vet here on their website.)

Children under l4 must have consent & supervision of a parent or guardian. This job also includes pooper scooping.Kennel cleaning: Cleaning doggie houses, washing and replacing beds. This is a job for those not afraid of hot water, bleach & pinesol. They keep the doggies and their living spaces clean and that's a demanding chore. They could use help in this area. Could you sew & tack little bedding pads together? They need people to cut up blankets and comforters & tack then together to make little doggie sleeping pads. theyhave the materials and need you to cut them up into bedding approximately 3'x3' and 2'x2' (Of course, a few inches either way won't matter.) They need them fluffy and tacked together so they can wash & dry them faster & easier. Bug those friends and neighbors: for older polyester comforters that you can fold into quarters & tack together to make softer fluffier washable bedding for these doggies to snuggle on inside their kennels. Sign painter who could make nice yard signs for the reception area & yards. Drivers: They need drivers who can drive them to their Vet visits & help bust death-row inmates outta jail on rescue pickups. There are dogs who can be saved if only there are folks available with cars to go pick them up. They need on-call drivers and a dispatcher volunteer to help organize rescue pickups & vet trips. Dog Clothes: it gets cold here in the winter, and the dogs appreciate warm coats. Homemade dog clothes or store bought ones welcome. Help at adoption events: Several times a year they take their pets to big adoption events in the Los Angeles area or Orange County, such as Irvine Animal Care Center's Home for the Holidays event every December. They always welcome people who can help set up the area at the event, or who can come with or meet there to walk the dogs, feed them, or help them get adopted during the event. See their "events" page for our upcoming schedule.. Petsmart adoption events: In the past, on the weekends they have had volunteers who have taken some of their dogs to a Petsmart of the volunteer's choice to try to get them adopted. They don't have any volunteers who do that currently. The closest Petsmart to them is in Apple Valley's Jess Ranch shopping center.
