Volunteering Program
SRAS and the shelter animals would not thrive without the help of our many generous volunteers. The shelter operates 365 days of the year and as long as there are animals to care for we will need the help of good people willing to share their time and talent to help the animals in need.
Volunteer opportunities include cleaning the facility, kennel care, dishes, laundry, dog walking, animal enrichment, administrative support, event support and more. There is literally something to do that will fit into any schedule and any skill level.
You must be at least 18-years-old to volunteer at our shelter with a signed application. We are so grateful for our volunteers and wish that we could make exceptions for younger participants, but our policy is in place for the safety for people and pets.

DOGGY DAY DATE PROGRAM
We have an exciting program that allows our pups to get some much-needed socialization AND provide you with doggy kisses, cuddles, and sincere appreciation for your time. This program allows you to take a shelter dog out for a date (1-4 hours) or even an overnight at your home. We will provide food, a leash, treats, and anything else you’ll need to make your time meaningful. You can read our Doggy Day Date Manual here. Please call us at 208-523-4219 or come to the shelter to sign up!
