Volunteer with DAWG

DAWG is a primarily volunteer-run organization. The caring interaction between dogs and volunteers serves a dual purpose. It supports the dogs through the loneliness of kenneling, and allows the volunteers to know each dog so that each adopter is matched with the perfect new family member.

DAWG relies on the continued support of volunteers. Any time you give to DAWG is valuable, and the contribution you can make to DAWG is limited only by your imagination! No experience is necessary. We welcome anyone over the age of 18, and those under 18 are welcome when accompanied by a parent, guardian or other approved adult.

You can help our dogs in a number of ways:

• Walking, bathing and grooming
• Dog socialization
• Providing clerical assistance
• Helping at community events
• Adoption counseling
• Cleaning
• Gardening
• General repair and “fix-it” jobs

Any other way you can think of, whatever skill you have, we can use it! To get involved, contact us at volunteers@sbdawg.org or (805) 681-0561.
