Membership is open to any individual or corporation. Described below are the different types of membership available:

This type of membership is our "grass roots" membership, allowing dog lovers of all ages, throughout the entire country, to be a part of this great undertaking. General membership will build our momentum and get the word out about the sanctuary. This non-voting membership entitles each member to a one-year subscription to our newsletter and a window sticker.

General membership is usually $50 per year, but right now we are kicking off our . . . .

which includes a one-year membership. If 50% of dog lovers in the U.S. donated $20, we could build a sanctuary in every state and abolish dog pounds and their practice of euthanasia in the wag of a tail!

A voting member must volunteer a minimum of 100 hours to the sanctuary annually and is eligible for election to the board of directors. These hours must be volunteered on a regular basis throughout the year. Each applicant for membership shall apply on a form as approved by the Board of Directors and which shall provide that the applicant agrees to abide by the Bylaws, the code of conduct and the rules of the sanctuary.

A person eligible for affiliate membership must pay dues but is only required to donate 50 hours per year. Hours volunteered do not have to be on a regular basis, but may be donated for special events throughout the year. An affiliate member is not eligible to vote on any of the Rescue's business nor can he/she be elected to office.

Annual dues for an affiliate member are $30.00.  To join, please fill out the attached form and send it with your check for $30.00.

A junior membership is available to kids between the ages of 16-18. This membership requires each member to donate 50 hours per year. Hours volunteered do not have to be on a regular basis, but may be donated for special events throughout the year. A parent's consent must be obtained before membership is approved.

Junior membership is important! By volunteering at a rescue, young people are introduced to the rewards of rescuing dogs. They learn so much about dogs and how to handle them, and it is often the springboard into a lifetime of compassion and efforts to reduce animal suffering.

Junior membership is also a great way for kids to satisfy volunteer and community service hours for school, church and youth groups.

There are no annual dues for Junior Memberships.
