From a volunteer:
WHY I volunteer at a county shelter and WHY we need YOU! 100+ dogs🐕 Luna is the beautiful black Lab mix who has spent 8 years of her life in a shelter kennel. When she was young she had trust issues and was fearful of strangers which induced a couple of behavior concerns that would make it difficult to find the right home for Luna. The reward in volunteering is seeing the genuine happiness and excitement when Luna sees me or other volunteers who are going to spend time with her. To see a dog go from fearful to trusting and affectionate is incredibly rewarding❤️
The other gorgeous dog is Riptide who has been in the shelter for almost a year. Why? Riptide is a love bug, a very easy walker but people see his 90 pound size so he often gets overlooked. Riptide loves his walks, back rubs, cuddles and has a pep in his step when he sees that a volunteer is getting him out of his small kennel❤️
We also needed extra hands today to prepare and pass out enrichment but there were too few volunteer hands available so some dogs did not receive enrichment😥
Laundry help is always shorthanded and the dogs needed blankets placed in their kennels. The dogs NEED YOU! Whether you have 4 hours a month free or 40 hours Manatee County Animal Welfare needs you.

Please contact volunteer coordinator:
[email protected] if you can help.

CHAMP💙
This Handsome and very sweet 6 year old GSD came into MCAW unable to bear any weight on his front leg AND he also came in Heartworm positive. Champ does not have any fractures but has a consult to find out about his leg in early January.
Champ is a sweet and very loving boy. He loves to sit with you and get lots of affection. He will lean into you and just want to be pet. He adores his comfy beds and blankets. He can go on short walks right now due to his leg. Champ would really love a medical foster or foster to adopt home where he could relax in the comfort of a home environment while he’s going through possible surgery and heartworm treatments. ❤️
If you are able to foster Champ…please email Lauren Tryon

DANNY♥️
This sweet 7 year old visually impaired boy is in search for an Angel to come save him. Imagine being blind and stuck in a loud shelter!!! 😭
He is a precious, lovable boy who would love nothing more than a wonderful home, but also a loving family. Someone who would understand that he is visually impaired and help him navigate through life. Someone who is patient, devoted and understanding with sweet Danny.
He loves to sniff around, listen to music when he walks so he knows where he is going and most of all cuddle with you!!
He is an amazing, kind hearted, friendly boy. Danny deserves out of here! Please help 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Happy New Year!!🎉
We want to send a big thank you to all our 2024 adopters, fosters, rescues, donators, volunteers and staff. We celebrate all the dogs we were able to see go into loving homes, morn and remember the ones that didn’t make it out, and stay hopeful for the ones still waiting. In 2025 we hope to see more people adopting and fostering, and more amazing people volunteering their free time to these deserving dogs. And we can only pray 2025 will bring less sadness coming through those doors and more happy tails leaving. Let’s have a great year!

Below are our 6 longest residents all over a year in the shelter, some multiple years.
Maybe 2025 will be their year.
Come meet them!

WE NEED YOU!!

With the new year approaching please consider adding volunteering to your resolution list. We are constantly posting and pleading for volunteers. WE NEED OUR COMMUNITY PLEASE!! Y’all proved to be unstoppable when we desperately needed fosters for the hurricane. We need that energy in 2025 for volunteering!

Many of our dogs have found themselves homeless and alone in a loud crowded shelter. They need love, exercise and socialization. The hard reality is with so many dogs and a handful of staff, it is difficult for them to walk and juggle the day to day operations. That is why volunteers are SO important. More volunteers means our dogs have significantly more time out of their kennels. Without volunteers some dogs may not even get a walk. So PLEASE if you can spare a few hours a week, a few hours every other week, a day a month…anything will help these dogs! If you can not volunteer; consider doing a doggy day out. You do not need to be a volunteer you simply get matched with a dog from the shelter and can take them out the day.

Unable to walk dogs? We are always happy to have yard attendants that will sit with dogs while they play. Many dogs just want interaction with people.

Nervous to interact with the dogs? We are always in need of volunteers to help with laundry, dishes, enrichments, and kennel cleaning.

Must be 16 and older or accompanied by a parent/adult.
Mandatory training session required

Please see link below to start volunteer application.
