Volunteer

Volunteers are the greatest asset for the CHAT. organization. Without your help we would not be able to provide the education, training, and time needed to save the life of a pet.  There are many ways that you can become part of making a difference in the lives of the animals in our community.

BECOME A FOSTER PARENT

Our foster program is extremely important and we are always in need of foster families for our dogs and cats, puppies and kitties. There is limited space at our facility and fostering allows CHAT to care for more animals while they wait for their forever home. Foster parents are never under any obligation and may return a foster pet to us at any time.

BE A BUDDY

With as little as two to three hours a week, you can help with the training and socialization needed to prepare our animals for life in their new home.  When you become a BUDDY to a dog of your choosing, you receive instruction about how to get your new BUDDY to an adoptable stage by teaching him basic commands and manners.   Most of all, you help build his confidence and trust in people, which gets his tail wagging.

VOLUNTEER AT EVENTS

Volunteers are needed for events throughout the year such as dog washes, fund raisers, and our Adoption Days at Petco.  Volunteers must be at least 13 years old.
