Once you are approved to volunteer, please understand that we do NOT allow anyone on our property that hasn't been approved. This would mean you would not be allowed to bring anyone with you that has not been through our vetting process. Since we do work directly with law enforcement officals, we may have animals on our property that are currently in an active cruelty case. This would mean that you cannot take photos, post on social media, or discuss the case with others.
