Join our Canine Care Team in providing top quality care for our resident dogs. By volunteering with the Canine Care Team, you will help the Team nurture a healthy, mindful kennel! Help our Team feed, water, or enliven a dog’s day by giving them a toy. Help maintain safe and clean spaces by helping to clean the yards, and provide clean inside living and play spaces for our four-legged friends. This volunteer opportunity will also allow you the space to play with some of our beautiful dogs!

Primarily Outdoor/Possible Indoor
Everyone needs the chance to relax and have some fun… especially our dogs! If you love to play with dogs, our dogs would love to play with you. Help give them the chance to unwind and enjoy some well-earned time off by facilitating play and games with them. Perhaps you’d like to engage their minds with thinking puzzles or seeking missions. Maybe you’d like to give them a chance to run off their energy by throwing the ball or playing soccer! These are some of the many possibilities for joyful adventures with our dogs.

Outdoor/Indoor
Some of our dogs need a bit of a break from their daily play and exercise routine, but we still love for them to have fresh air and a chance to stretch their legs. These dogs need gentler exercise, but still want a chance to play! Help us give a little extra love to dogs recovering from medical operations, give our girls in heat a safe space to play, and snuggle some dogs in need of some TLC. These dogs will primarily walk with you on a line or free play in a small yard with your supervision, and then join you for quieter snuggles in a small room equipped for cuddling.

Indoor/Possibly outdoor
Having a group of busy, smart dogs is wonderful… until they get bored! Idle paws love to invent their own games around here, and sometimes they get into mischief! Help our Team keep our dogs engaged by cleaning, creating, and even sometimes distributing enrichment toys and activities for our dogs in training. Prepare Kongs for dogs by stuffing them full of goodies such as peanut butter and other treats, create hunting games by preparing hide, sniff, and seek boards, make batches of edible bubbles, and more. Creative kids are welcome too!

Indoor/Outdoor
Our dogs are really cute, and we like to show them off! We’d love for you to enjoy our dogs and let others see how wonderful they are too. Take pictures of our dogs with our training and enrichment teams working on new skills or frolicking together, or enjoy private time with just you and the dogs, taking pictures of them playing with their friends, chasing a ball, or just plain being adorable. Not a professional photographer, but still love taking photos or want to improve your shots? No problem! Come practice your skills and enjoy the company of our four legged friends at the same time! We would love to feature your wonderful photos of our amazing dogs here at PAWS CEC.
