Become a Beacon Volunteer!
Whether you walk in the door or find us online, we’re happy to welcome you to the Beacon family. No matter what your experience or background, we will find an opportunity for you to get involved and help save the lives of cats and dogs in need.
You can help in a hands-on way, such as walking dogs, cuddling cats, bringing animals to events, cleaning cages, helping potential adopters find their purr-fect matches, fostering an animal in need, or even taking pictures and writing bios for animals to be posted on our website.
Or if you prefer, you can help with fundraising, data entry, answering phones, grant writing, internet posting and updating, coordinating events and programs, graphic design, marketing and advertising, or even helping with the maintenance of our building and its grounds.
If you’re interested in volunteering with us, please complete our online Volunteer Application and we’ll contact you to set up your orientation training.

Current Volunteering Opportunities!
- Dog & Cat Area Cleaning (Mornings) – A clean environment is essential for the health & well-being of our animals. Could you spare a few hours a week to help our orphans?
- Walk the Dogs – Come help provide our pooches with individual attention, mental stimulation & some much needed time & exercise out of their kennels. Daily walks & play time are so important for keeping them happy & healthy during their stay.
- Foster Homes – Some animals have a difficult time coping in a shelter environment or simply need a quiet place to rest during recovery from a medical procedure or condition. Foster families provide an invaluable bridge to forever homes.
- Maintenance of Grounds – We could use help maintaining the grounds around the rescue including mowing the lawn, weeding garden areas, planting seasonal flowers and other tasks.
- Are you a professional Electrician, Carpenter, or Plumber? Beacon would be so grateful if you could share your time & skills with us on occasion.
