Are you a dog lover whose heart is broken by the sight of homeless animals on the streets?

Do you want to make your community a happier, safer place by taking care of the strays?

Are you someone who wants a dog, but cannnot keep one at home?

BU Paws Dog Sanctuary is a good place for you!

​

Our animals are fed and cared for, what they need most from volunteers is individual attention and affection.  Socialization is essential for harmonious co-existence with human beings and a good relationship with the community.   Volunteers have given their talents and time to train, bathe and walk the dogs, clean the facilities, pick up trash, create dog spaces, prune bramble, and install fencing.  They accompany dogs to veterinary appointments and help with physical therapy exercises.  They organize fund raising and goods collections, recruit donors and more volunteers. They create material for canine environment enrichment and devise brain work activities to stimulate the dogs' minds. They manage bi-lingual social media, build up our photo archive, design our website, calendars, and public relations materials. Tremendous changes have taken place at BU Paws over the last year in no small part thanks to the contributions of animal-loving volunteers.
