Volunteer
Make a Difference in the Lives of Our Residents—Touch and Be Touched!
Coming out and spending quality time with our many animals is a truly rewarding experience. Hands-on work with the animals is good for them and for you.
Most of the animals at SARA love human interaction and welcome physical contact.

Volunteer Activities

Sanctuary Upkeep
With 750 animals in our care, there is always work that needs to be done. Volunteers help with daily chores such as feeding, cleaning, and watering.

Event Support
We host events throughout the year at the sanctuary and also at off-site adoption events and fundraisers.

Have Fun
Other tasks our volunteers help with include bathing dogs, brushing horses, giving treats to cows and donkeys, walking dogs, playing with animals, and much more.

“The best way to find oneself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”
—Gandhi
We are grateful for the help of our many wonderful volunteers who make a big difference in the lives of our animals.
