Volunteer
Interested in volunteering? We can't wait to meet you!
After a year of having to keep our doors shut to the public, we are excited to announce we are able to slowly start welcoming volunteers back to the shelter! To remain cautious of the pandemic, we are reopening the Volunteer Program on a minimal basis, with volunteers scheduled for assigned dog socialization shifts. Dog socialization shifts will consist of walking a dog for 1 hour on the Bear Creek Trail. If you would like to volunteer with CMHS, please fill out our Volunteer Application via the button below!
