Puppies in the nursery have sensitive immune systems and are susceptible to canine diseases. Our Nursery space is a quarantined from the rest of our building to prevent any contamination and keep our puppies safe. We require all Nursery volunteers to change out of your street wear into scrubs and crocs when entering for your shift.

We cross train our volunteer to help in both areas of our building; you may be assigned to either area depending on the occupancy each week.
