Volunteers

Volunteers are always welcome at the Animal Rescue League. As with many non-profits, volunteers are the backbone of our shelter.

Walking shelter animals is a favorite activity of many ARL volunteers. In addition to giving shelter animals the opportunity to exercise outdoors, volunteers also get to enjoy the added pleasure of walking on the bucolic, 10-acre shelter grounds in Cumru Township. A modern barn is nearby to shelter abandoned or abused horses, ponies, chickens, pigs, and other farm animals. And a popular resting spot for dog walkers is our attractive gazebo surrounded by seasonal plants and flowers.

We are planning to expand our “Pet Path” and upgrade the walking trail with beautiful shrubs, plants, and perennials.

If you have a passion for gardening as well as for animals, consider becoming an ARL volunteer gardener. Each season has its own special beauty that provides a tranquil and beautiful setting for shelter animals and visitors. Please contact the shelter at 610-373-8830 if you would like to join our volunteer gardeners.

Volunteer help is always appreciated too for our many special events, including our popular flea markets, and the annual Easter Egg Hunt and Christmas Open House.

Perhaps you would like to help our shelter by knitting or crocheting items such as small blankets for our shelter kittens and cats.

Whatever volunteer time and talents you can give the shelter are greatly appreciated.
