Volunteer at AWS with your troop or group

As scheduling allows, we can offer specialized volunteer sessions for troops and student groups. These sessions usually involve instructional time as well as hands-on volunteer work. We look forward to working with you to create a meaningful, fulfilling and useful experience for your students!

Our youth group volunteering program is on hiatus for the 2024-2025 school year.

If your group has collected or made donations for AWS, please contact our Development Team. Depending on the size of your group and scheduling needs, we may be able to offer your group a tour.

A very sweet Happy Homes! 🐾

"Charlie is doing great in his new home! After having to say goodbye to our last dog in September '23, we met Charlie in February and fell instantly in love. He’s a big, smart, playful, high-energy pupper! It took a few months for him to really get comfortable with us, but now he’s happy and settled in. He loves playing fetch in the yard, keeping watch for squirrels and pedestrians, and snoozing with his people. We’re so happy that this sweet, beautiful boy is part of our lives!"

Teaching your dog to walk with you comfortably is an all-important step if you want to take your dog with you anywhere. Whether it’s a walk on a hiking trail or around a busy city, knowing you can easily walk your dog without worrying they will pull is important! That’s why we teach loose leash walking. A loose leash walk is defined a walk where there is no tension on the leash.
