Instructions
In order to participate, you must register online. The program fee is $15 per session, which helps support our many animal care and adoption programs! This fee is due at the time of registration and is non-refundable and non-transferable. Register for a session online. All registered participants will be contacted via email one week prior to the session with additional program details, including safety tips. Dates are posted one month in advance on the first Tue or Thursday of the month. If you are trying to register for a date and it does not display as an option to choose, that means the date has either sold out, or is not yet available for purchase. Although this is a staff supervised program, we are more than happy to sign off on volunteer hours, or provide a reference letter for participants.
