When watching dogs together, have you ever wondered if what you were seeing was good or not? Ever wondered, are they really playing or is it something else?
Dogs have a ton of silent language, and unless you take classes to learn their language, it's tough to know what they are really saying.
We can see things that we think are okay, things that seem like playing, and yet something happens, and there's suddenly an argument that erupts, leaving you wondering why.
In this webinar, you will see a lot of photos and videos of these actual behaviors and conversations happening between dogs to help you increase your ability to speak dog.
When: May 7, 2026 11 am to 1 pm.

During kitten season, we often encounter neonatal kittens who need round-the-clock care because their mothers are absent or unable to care for them. These little ones require bottle feeding every few hours, even overnight.
Join us for a special training session where we'll teach you how to properly bottle feed and care for neonatal kittens (and puppies, too!). Don't worry if you've never done this before—we'll provide all the training and supplies you need. Together, we can give these babies a fighting chance at a happy, healthy life!
Please RSVP: Only 12 seats. Please sign up to attend.
Your willingness to learn and help save lives means the world to us!
Thank you for being a hero to our furry friends in need. See you there!

We love getting new volunteers! We want your volunteer time to be fun and meaningful to you. We also want your volunteer time to be safe. We want you to get started on the right foot, learn about who we are and what you'll be doing as a volunteer, and we want to show you where you'll be working when you come to the shelter. We can make all of this happen by scheduling a Volunteer Orientation. Once you've finished orientation, you can get started right away! Thank you for helping us help the animals!
Fill out a volunteer form here on our website under the Forms tab.

To play with puppies and dogs you will also need to sign up for our Dog Body Language & Behavior Course.
