WE LOVE OUR VOLUNTEERS!
They continually go above and beyond the call of duty to help the animals. There is almost always a helping hand when we feel there is no end. and always an ear to lend when the stress of what we do gets too much to bear. This a very rewarding endeavor. Star North has volunteer opportunities to fit any schedule.

• Foster Care. This is our most urgent need. If you can spare a place in your home to help an animal while it is waiting to be adopted, we need you! Star North provides medical treatment. All you provide is exercise and affection. The more foster homes we acquire, the more animals we are able to place into established, loving families.
• Socializing Dogs and Cats.. The majority of animals that come to our shelter are in need of interaction with loving humans who are patient and kind. We can always use help walking dogs, holding and petting cats and kittens... and just basically loving the animals until they find a forever home! This type of work can be very rewarding but does require a lot of patience and love.
• Help with Fundraising Projects & Events. You may be suprised at the passion we have for helping these animals....but passion can't always pay for vet bills. We work very hard to create and run fundraising projects and events that contribute to the community and also raise money to keep up with the tremendous budget needed to save homeless animals in our county. We need volunteers to think of creative ideas and help with implementation on all levels.
• Adoption Followup. Star North attempts to contact all adopters within the first year to ensure that things are going well and to followup on the spaying/neutering of animals who were adopted prior to being neutered/spayed. This volunteer would be provided with a list of names/numbers and animal "names" . No specific hours or quantities of time is required.
• Donate money,time, items for rummage sales and other fundraisers, dog and cat food, puppy and kitten food, leashes, collars, treats and toys, cat litter, cleaning supplies, laundry soap, bleach, dish soap, pine sol, waterless hand sanitizer, paper towels, 45-gallon trash bags, money! Every donation helps save a pets life!
