Looking for a way to give back to the community and support a great cause?

Volunteer with our non-profit kennel club! Each year, we host or participate in several exciting events, including a 3-day dog show and festive holiday events. These events wouldn’t be possible without the help of dedicated volunteers like you!
We’re always looking for enthusiastic individuals to assist with parking, giving directions, raffle, stewarding, setup, and cleanup. Whether you can volunteer for a few hours or an entire event, every bit of help makes a difference.
Join us for a fun and rewarding experience—no prior experience needed, just a love of dogs and community spirit!
