Join the Massachusetts, Rhode Island & Maine Chapter for our annual Jay Zeiger Day of Service at Save A Dog in Sudbury, MA, from 9:30 a.m. to noon. Volunteers will spend the morning helping with outdoor cleanup and other projects that keep the shelter looking its best for the dogs in its care. It’s a great way to give back, get your hands dirty, and spend time with fellow chapter members.
Volunteers should dress for the elements but include long pants, closed toe shoes and socks. Sometimes puppies get rambunctious and can grab a shirt edge or shoelace.
Volunteers will get a chance to play with the dogs in the shelter too.
We’ll wrap up the morning with pizza and good company!
About Save the Dog
Save A Dog is a humane society whose primary focus is rescuing and rehoming abandoned dogs. We began in 1999 as an all-breed, all-volunteer dog rescue group and ran out of our founder’s home for nine years. Finally we have a lovely facility and kennel which we are renting to own in Sudbury, Mass. Save A Dog is a privately funded 501(c)3 organization. Our Tax ID number is 04-3476937.
