I volunteer at the sanctuary once a month for a full day. I assist in any activities needed for the day from barn cleaning, animal feeding, animal socializing, to dish washing and cleaning and organizing. I also put efforts in to fundraise for the sanctuary- I've raised money to purchase gift cards for the sanctuary and have also had drives for towels and blankets to be donated.

I volunteer as a BIG sister. I have been matched with my "little" and have been with her since 2008. I dedicate 8 hours a month to spend time with her.
