Volunteering for Nuts for Mutts

So you want to be a Nut?? Well, our philosophy is the more the merrier!! There are many ways that you can help. Obviously, without foster homes we cannot take in dogs and we need all the foster homes we can get, but the work goes well beyond the keeping of the dogs. We need volunteers to help with fundraising, event coordinating, transporting, weekend staffing at our adoption center, education, recruiting, conducting home visits, etc.

Please complete and submit a Volunteer Application and we will contact you to talk about how we can best help each other to help the dogs! If you would like more information before completing an application, feel free to contact us:
