Foster Homes
Not sure you are ready to make a lifetime commitment to a pet? Try Fostering! Our foster homes provide care and housing for animals in the Yolo County community on a short-term basis. They serve as temporary guardians for homeless animals awaiting adoption into permanent, loving homes. We provide supplies and vet care. Foster parents provide time, energy, some transportation and love!

Thrift Store (Must be 16+)
These volunteers' duties range from processing donations, to assisting the public, to pricing items. Since the Thrift Store is our main source of funding, along with donations, our on site volunteers are extremely important. We ask that these volunteers are at least 16 years of age. Volunteer shifts are generally no shorter than 4 hours.
