Join the Mack-Pack
It is because of people like you that are committed to the betterment of our local animal community that make our mission at Mackenzie’s possible and for that we are forever grateful.
Mackenzie’s Animal Sanctuary is always in need of volunteers. Volunteering can be very rewarding and a great way to meet new people, spend time with friends and family and of course, help the dogs in here at the sanctuary.
There are many different volunteer opportunities available at MAS:
- Helping the dogs at the sanctuary: walking, training, feeding, grooming, reading, playing, etc.
- Educational/community outreach events
- Meet and Greets: We have Meet and Greets all over West Michigan!
- Fundraisers
- Distributing and collecting donation boxes
Most of these types of volunteer opportunities only require one training session. Training sessions are available Tuesday through Saturday.
