Love Dogs? So Do We.
Right now, the Ewing Animal Sheler is experiencing overcrowding in our dog shelter, and we need your help.
We’re urgently seeking foster homes and volunteers to walk dogs. Whether you can provide a temporary home or spend an hour walking a dog, you’ll be changing a life, and we’ll support you every step of the way.
Fostering gives a dog a break from the shelter.
Dog walking provides enrichment and comfort.
Volunteers help keep our dogs happy, healthy, and ready for adoption
With gratitude,
