Make a Difference

Sometimes the most valuable thing you can give is your time.

You don’t have to adopt to change an animal’s life. Every volunteer hour, shared post, and helping hand makes it possible for Moyer Animal Shelter to continue caring for animals in our community.

Volunteers help us provide the extra attention and care that can make a shelter animal’s day a whole lot brighter. Whether you spend an afternoon walking dogs, playing with cats, or pitching in behind the scenes, your time helps the dogs and cats available for adoption feel safe, loved, and ready for their new families.
