Other Volunteer Opportunities
Wags & Whiskers is always looking for people to help us save the lives of dogs, cats, rabbits and other companion animals! If you love animals but can’t foster, there are other ways you can help! We need volunteers to do home visits, transports, hold the dogs and puppies at adoption events, fundraising help and many other things. Please fill out the volunteer application. Thank you for supporting animal rescue and Wags & Whiskers!
