Volunteers and wolf lovers welcomed & appreciated!

 

Volunteers are a crucial asset to every Non-Profit organization. 

We recognize their commitment and dedication...whether a "regular" or one who can commit to assisting on special projects.  Volunteers can fulfill many needs - helping with fundraising; grant writing; developing resources; building projects; grounds maintenance; as well as helping with the daily animal chores! 

The scope of volunteering can expand to not just our organization, but to many of the organizations dedicated to helping the Wolf and the wolfdog.  From transport, developing potential adoption sources, research, even providing information that can lead to educational opportunities, volunteers can have a positive impact that reaches far and wide.
