There is a special satisfaction that comes with rehabilitating an injured or frightened animal or socializing a dog or cat to make it ready for a permanent family. Often this is the first time these animals have had someone really care for them. They learn to love a warm voice and a soft touch while waiting for loving permanent homes.

• You save a life!
• It is convenient and flexible.

• It is fun and rewarding!
• And much more!
