We Need You!

Be A Lifesaver With Just A Little Time (And A Lot Of Heart!)

Volunteer Power Starts Here—Your Time Means Everything

Every dog in our care deserves a daily walk and playtime. Every cat deserves to be petted, talked to, and loved. With the support of dependable, caring volunteers, we can make that happen for every animal at our no kill shelter. Whether you have an hour a week or more, your time can bring joy, comfort, and hope to dogs and cats who didn’t ask to be confined to a kennel. From walking dogs to socializing cats, you will be making a real difference in their lives.

Kindness in Action

Join Our Volunteer Team

As a new shelter, we are building our volunteer program from the ground up — and you can be part of shaping it. By giving your time, you help ensure every dog gets the walks and playtime they need, and every cat enjoys the affection and socialization that make them better companions. With dependable, caring volunteers, we can provide the daily enrichment and love that every animal in our no kill shelter deserves.

To get started, please read, complete, and sign both the Volunteer Guidelines and Application, then email them to info@NorthernNeckPartnersForPets.org. If you have any questions, contact Terrie at 804-436-7396.
