We are always in need of extra helping hands. There is no need to commit to a particular schedule - even if you can drop in and walk a dog or pet a cat on occasion, we (and the animals) will greatly appreciate it.

Many of our volunteer questions come from students.  Here's the scoop - in order to joins the ranks of the dedicated volunteers: 

• You must be fourteen years or older to come in without a parent or adult guardian.  If you're under 14, you're always welcome with your parent or guardian along. 
• If you are a minor, you'll need to get your parent or guardian to sign a  permission form
• We have a number of students who fulfill their community service requirement at the shelter.  You'll need to fill out a form at the shelter to record your hours,  and get it signed by a supervisor in order to get credit from your school.

 You'll be asked to help with any number of shelter tasks, such as: 

• cleaning cat cages
• walking dogs
• restocking supplies
• general cleaning, such as mopping floors and doing laundry
   
• answering phones
• helping out at various events

 Some of the events we hold are: 

• annual rabies clinic
• annual holiday parties
• flea markets, and other fundraisers. 

You don't need to live in Milton to volunteer. Call Linda Kippenberger at 698-0455 and  leave a  message, or come by anytime that the shelter is open.
