Volunteer
Opportunities
We are continually searching for dedicated
volunteers who are willing to meet on a regular basis. The animals of the KCHS
need you. They need to be walked, bathed, brushed, played with, fed, talked to,
and taught basic obedience. Any time you may have to give to them is much
appreciated by the staff, and even more so by the animals themselves.
Come in, take a tour, and tell us what duties you
would be interested in doing. We do our best to match our volunteers with a job
they enjoy the most.
