Volunteering at South Paw Acres is good for everybody! When you volunteer at SPA, with each toss of a stick you get a happy dog to bring to bring it back to you, with a tail wagging and maybe even a big wet doggie kiss just for you. Spending time with dogs is proven to boost self-esteem, lower blood pressure, and renew energy - yours AND the dog's! There's a dog at South Paw Acres just waiting to play fetch with you...
If you are interested in volunteering at the SPA, we only have a few qualifications that must be met:
- You must like dogs.
- Dogs must like you. (And we can pretty much guarantee a treat or two will make them your best friend for the day.)
- You must be 18 years of age or older.
- You must not be afraid to get a little dirty. (Wear your playclothes!)
If you meet these requirements, please fill out our Volunteer Application and mail it to us or drop it by South Paw Acres. The doggies look forward to meeting you!
