Food Lion
Would you like to volunteer with or on behalf of a best friend? Does that friend happen to have fur? You are in luck.
Local Animal Shelters
Get your daily exercise by walking the dogs or help with feeding, cleaning, fundraising, outreach...as with most volunteer areas, there is a lot of need, and that translates into plenty of volunteer opportunities. Volunteering at a shelter can also be a good way to help children learn the responsibilities of pet ownership.
Foster A Pet
Animal shelters are overburdened. You can help save lives and provide loving care to a pet until a permanent home is found.
Pet Visitation Programs
Share the joy your pet brings to your life with seniors, the disabled or people with illnesses by being part of a pet visitation program. As part of these programs, owners take pets that have passed a special training course to participating hospitals, schools or senior centers for loving, licking and petting.
