Pay It Forward: Pet Rescue
Safe Haven Pet Sanctuary’s mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome cats and dogs with special needs. This organization is 100% donation-run and accepts pets affected by abuse, neglect, hoarding situations, physical disabilities, and psychological disabilities. Safe Haven needs volunteers for event committees, front desk, cat care, dog care, and cleaning. They are located on North Broadway in Green Bay.
Lucky 7 Dog Rescue is an entirely fostered-based and volunteer-run organization that collaborates with other shelters to help dogs on a local and national level. Their goal is to match each dog’s personality with the best people who can provide them with a forever home. Located on North Broadway in Green Bay, Lucky 7 asks volunteers to fill out the volunteer form. Once the application is accepted, the shelter will list volunteer opportunities on Facebook or through email.
Oconto Area Humane Society is dedicated to protecting, caring for, and sheltering homeless and surrendered pets. Volunteers are needed daily for cleaning cages and kennels, washing food bowls, cleaning visiting rooms, playing with cats/dogs, walking dogs, and bathing/grooming pets. They also need help with building and yard maintenance, fundraising/community events, and transporting animals. They ask that volunteers are available a minimum of once a month, and that OAHS is always represented in a positive manner.
The Menominee Animal Shelter strives to provide humane care and treatment for any animal that needs protection in Marinette and Menominee counties. They shelter and place animals into suitable loving homes, return lost animals to owners, and educate the public on the proper way to care for their pets. The website lists a variety of donation needs.
