Love dogs?

So do we! Pets Lifeline offers rewarding ways to help our shelter dogs relax, exercise, and prepare for their forever homes. Whether you’re walking dogs, volunteering for an adoption event, playing fetch in our dog yard, hiking at Bartholomew Park, or taking a pup on a Doggie Day Out, your time makes a world of difference. We’re thrilled you’re interested in joining us—our dogs can’t wait to meet you!

Cat person?

If you’re a cat lover, we have plenty of ways for you to get involved. Help our shelter cats feel safe and loved by socializing, reading to them, assisting with kennel cleaning, volunteering at an adoption event, and more. Whether you're offering gentle pets or facilitating in finding their new home, your time helps prepare them for a better future. Come spend some quality time with our kitties and give them the love they deserve!

Foster for a Day or More

Fostering is a vital part of our volunteer program at Pets Lifeline. We’re always looking for compassionate fosters to care for dogs, kittens, seniors, and fospice animals who deserve love and comfort in their golden years. We cover all care costs—you simply provide a safe home and plenty of love until they find their forever home. Fostering changes lives. Open your heart and home to a pet in need today.
