Animal Shelter Helpers in East Hanover

Volunteers will spend the first 2.5 hours of their time supporting Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter's daily operations by assisting with laundry, dishes, creating enrichment treats, and sorting donations. During the last 30 minutes, the shelter welcomes volunteers to spend quality time with their adoptable cats and sometimes dogs. Socializing with the cats in the shelter's care is important for their health, wellness, and adoptability. Mt.
