Who this is for

Volunteer assistance is for residents of Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Benito counties, subject to a volunteer being available near you. There are no income restrictions. Short-term dog walking for emergencies, short-term foster care or boarding while you are in the hospital or recovering from illness or surgery, and transportation to the vet or groomer for disabled and senior pet guardians. Every dog passes a behavioral evaluation first, usually at our office in Pacific Grove.
