We are happy to provide any additional information needed to recruit students and to post on your electronic boards. Thank you to those who have already posted on your community service boards and classrooms.

  • Sweet Paws Rescue Volunteer Program

    If you've worked with Sweet Paws Rescue already, thank you! If you don't already know us, Sweet Paws Rescue is an all-volunteer animal rescue organization located in Groveland, MA. We are so excited to introduce you to our High School Volunteer program!   
     
    About every 2 weeks Sweet Paws brings a new group of puppies and kittens up from our Southern rescue teams. Massachusetts law requires a 48 hour "isolation" at our Groveland facility (ISO) before they go home with adopters and fosters. To be ready, we need help preparing clean, safe, and calming spaces for our pups and kitties. Please come earn service hours by helping us with cleaning, stocking, and setting up! 
     
    This year we're happily expanding the program that allows 16 and 17 year olds the opportunity to earn a spot in our puppy volunteer program. If you complete 3 "ISO Shifts" you will be invited to attend Dog Team training and will be able to join that team to help care for arriving puppies!
     
    We are also so excited that Barktoberfest is back! On October 19th we will host our biggest annual fundraiser at Spencer-Pierce-Little Farm in Newbury and we need LOTS of volunteers to help make it a successful event. 
     "ISO Shifts" will generally be every two weeks on Thursdays before transports from 6-8pm and the following Tuesday from 6-8. 
     
    Please be sure that you provide a personal email when you sign up and 
    check it often as we add special volunteer opportunities as projects pop up!
     
    If you're ready to volunteer for upcoming events,  SIGN UP HERE 
    All volunteers are required to complete a WAIVER (please have a parent complete it if you are under 18)
