Most DCHS and Wildlife Center services are by appointment only. If you found a lost animal, need to surrender a pet, found wildlife in need of help, or require another service, please call before coming to the shelter. Adoption visits are handled on a first-come, first-served basis.
Special Events
Volunteer at fundraising events like Bark & Wine and Toto's Gala or represent DCHS at a variety of independently held fundraisers that benefit the shelter.
If you would like to volunteer in a different position, please monitor this webpage to learn when we will be recruiting once again.
