Need some exercise?

Want to help animals?

Become a volunteer dog walker at the shelter!

New dog walking hours at RRPS:


Tuesday

4-6 p.m.

Thursday

4-6 p.m.

Saturday

9-11 a.m.

4-6 p.m.


Sunday

9-11 a.m.

4-6 p.m.


Please check in at the front desk and sign a dog walk release and the log sheet. You must leave a driver's license at the desk.


Dress for the weather

The river trail is lovely but it is not a groomed sidewalk. You will need to walk through snow to get to the trail. We prefer the dogs do not walk on the street due to traffic and street salt.

You are expected to clean up after the dog -- bags are provided. When you are finished, check out at the front desk.


Other Volunteer Opportunities

We are looking for volunteers to work at the desk during the walking hours to check people in and out.


Woodworking hobbyists

If you can build a birdhouse, you can make cat-climbing "trees" for the new shelter.  We have several easy, step-by-step plans available. Contact Katherine Nelson 507-380-7737.

Sewers, knitters, fleece-crafters

We need snuggly beds and warm blankets for dogs, cats, puppies and kittens. If interested, contact Susan Kroon  507-388-2811.
