 In order for CARA to exist we must have a strong core of volunteers. If you would like to help CARA please please click the link below to

Registered volunteers receive news, updates, and needs of CARA. Email is how we reach our volunteers, and it only takes a minute to register.

Many Paws Make Light Work!

Volunteers guarantee CARA's future. Everything you see at CARA and on this web site has been created by volunteers like you. We know that anything is possible when caring people work together. When we give, not only are we saving the lives of homeless animals, but we find true happiness within ourselves.

Come join others any Tuesday, Wed, Friday or Saturday from 10am - 2pm or Thursdays from 3pm-7pm to help. If you are under 16, you need someone 18 or older to stay with you. :-)

Information about adoption events, fundraising events, training sessions, etc., is listed here. Some of the current projects and fundraisers are listed below.

Volunteers are vital to the success of our organization. CARA operates mostly with volunteers, relying on the commitment of dedicated animal lovers. Even the board members scoop their share of poop! Due to funding limitations, CARA only contracts three part-time people who perform daily animal management which includes kennel cleaning, feeding, etc. CARA relies on volunteers to do the rest.
 
Socializing animals, fundraising, educating our community, recruiting new volunteers, etc. are just a few of the many ways you can help. Your time is a valuable gift and just a few hours will make an incredible difference in the lives of homeless animals.
 
General Guidelines:
 
Due to state regulations, any volunteers who will be cleaning the facility must complete a training class. All volunteers are encouraged but not required to attend a formal orientation at the shelter. You can click the above link to attend our virtual orientation and learn about CARA's history, needs, and future.
 
Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age to participate independently - but still must be signed in by a parent or guardian.

Volunteers under 16 years of age must be accompanied (within an arms reach) by a parent or guardian AT ALL TIMES.
The adult must maintain control of the animal (holding the leash, etc.) at all times.

CARA is not liable for any injuries as volunteers spend time in the facility at their own risk. Animals are unpredictable and so are people, so always use your best judgment when volunteering. :-)
