Corral Buddies are the warm, welcoming presence that makes our shelter feel like a safe haven — for the animals and for our community. As a Corral Buddy, you'll provide comfort, enrichment, and calm companionship to animals in our care, helping them feel less stressed and more ready for their next homes. Applications are through our volunteer portal, please select link below.
What You'll Do
