An invitation-only volunteer network
This is a curated opportunity: participation is limited to volunteers who have already completed training with the Animal Care Manager and who meet the program's prior-contribution expectations.
Steady, accountable service
Long Term Volunteers are invited to log their hours accurately, ensuring that each shift and contribution is recorded as part of the sanctuary's labor-of-love program.
Built on prior training and demonstrated dedication
Entry to the program requires prior training and evidence of appropriate donated hours—this keeps the volunteer corps experienced, reliable, and aligned with sanctuary standards.
