Horse Creek Wildlife Volunteer Program

Volunteers at Horse Creek

	Here at Horse Creek we do everything we can to make the lives of our animals as good as we can make them. As you would expect, we are limited in the amount of personal time we can give each animal-of course, they think they never get enough! We are blessed to have a small cadre of animal lovers who devote a little of their spare time to our dogs, brightening their days and helping them to get ready for new lives with loving families.
On any given day you will find these folks in and around our kennel areas holding dogs, talking sweet talk, walking dogs on leashes, giving out treats, and generally socializing the animals. This extra people contact makes a great difference in the lives of our residents. Fifteen minutes of your time holding a puppy in your lap is the high point of that animal's day. Or a nice, long one-on-one walk with a mature dog makes him feel very special. Some of the animals who come from abusive situations learn that they can trust more people than just our staff.
	We also have some folks who sometimes come with us to adoption events and help us to ensure the dogs are always comfortable. They make sure the animals always have food and water and that they get out of their crates for routine leg stretching during the day. This helps to make a very stressful day easier on the dogs. These folks don't seem to mind the long hours on their feet in good and bad weather. They share in the joy when one of our guys finds a great home.
