Volunteers can work with dogs, cats and rabbits. Volunteer companions help keep our animals healthy both physically and mentally. By spending time with these companion pets, you’re providing invaluable socialization that helps prepare them for their new forever home. RCHS Animal Companions may spend time socializing, grooming, cleaning, training and for canines, walking the animal.
No specific skills are required, but prior experience with animals is helpful. All Animal Companion volunteers must commit to coming once a week for at least six months.
We always need help during our community and signature events throughout the year. These volunteers help us with anything from transporting an animal for a television appearance, checking in guests at a special event, distributing flyers or even gathering in-kind donations.
Rancho Coastal/Thrift Shop Give Back Day
Volunteer groups spend time helping at both our Thrift Shop or campus. Volunteers will get a VIP tour and spend time with the animals, (5 people max for campus and 10 people max for Thrift Shop).
Special Fundraiser Opportunities
Customize a fundraiser to support Rancho Coastal. This can include bake sales, car washes, pet food drives, and collection drives for toys and supplies, etc. We’ll work with you to come up with the best option for your group.
