Our PLAS family loves being groomed, petted or sometimes just kept company to help them adjust to different circumstances. Many skills can be helpful to our sanctuary. One of the best reasons to volunteer is that it is tied to something you are passionate about. A recent study showed that 95% of volunteers surveyed said they gained a "helper's high" volunteering, so it truly is a feel-good activity.
 

Please Note: All volunteers must be 18+ years old and while it's not required, we do prefer someone with experience. We are an ethically vegan farm. You do not need to be vegan to volunteer here, however, we ask that you respect and abide by our rules while on the property.​
